Hi, we are Drs. Lynn R. & Craig Blaisdell and this is the Blaisdell Family Dentistry blog. In today’s post we would like to discuss mouthwash. Many Idaho residents use mouthwashes to freshen their breath and help avoid tooth decay. Mouthwash should never be used exclusively, though; good oral hygiene starts with a thorough tooth brushing followed by flossing. Mouthwash is just a supplement in your dental hygiene tool box.
