Can I use mouthwash every day? What are the benefits of mouthwash? Can mouthwash replace brushing your teeth?

The main components of mouthwash are essence, surfactant, fluoride, strontium chloride, alcohol and water, which can clean the mouth and prevent dental caries and periodontitis. Mouthwash can clean the mouth anytime and anywhere, remove residues and prevent teeth from being eroded. Proper use of mouthwash can not only refresh breath, but also decompose dental plaque and prevent the formation of tooth decay, gingivitis and calculus.

It is recommended to use mouthwash twice a day. After brushing your teeth, you can put mouthwash in your mouth to encourage your mouth, so that mouthwash can effectively contact all parts of your mouth, play a role in washing and help us remove residues as much as possible. Mouthwash can penetrate into all parts of the oral cavity, including the tooth space between toothbrushes and the soft tissues in the oral cavity. Therefore, mouthwash can be used as a supplement to brushing teeth. However, gargling cannot replace routine operations such as brushing teeth, flossing and brushing teeth. You should also make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably for about 5 minutes each time.

Gargling is a simple way to clean your mouth. Mouthwash gargling can not only prevent bad breath, make the mouth clean and comfortable, but also remove food residues attached to the tooth surface and reduce the chance of dental diseases. The correct method of gargling is to put mouthwash in your mouth, close your lips, slightly separate your upper and lower teeth, encourage the muscles of your lips and cheeks, make mouthwash fully contact the surfaces of teeth, gums and mucous membranes, and make mouthwash flow back and forth between your teeth through the movement of your tongue to achieve the effect of gargling.

Mouthwash can remove food residues and some soft dirt from the mouth, but it is far from completely brushing your teeth. Unless your mouth can stir as fast as a washing machine, even if your mouth is numb, it can't completely replace brushing your teeth. One of the main purposes of brushing teeth is to remove dental plaque attached to the surface of teeth. In this process, the most important function is the physical friction of toothbrush, and mouthwash can't be rubbed, so it can't remove dental plaque. Mouthwash is only an auxiliary means, and it can't replace brushing your teeth, because mouthwash can only remove some food residues in your mouth, and those dental plaques that are closely combined with your teeth still need to be brushed.
