Do I Really Need To Use Mouthwash If I'm Brushing And Flossing Twice A Day?

It’s undeniable, mouthwash leaves your mouth feeling clean and breath nice and fresh. But it has genuine benefits other than those. A good quality mouthwash can provide an extra layer of defence against problems like gum disease. As it is a liquid, it can reach parts that brushing and flossing may  miss. Some mouthwashes will also contain fluoride which helps to strengthen the protective enamel layer of the teeth. This is a perfectly acceptable use for it as long as you are cleaning your teeth well otherwise, and not just using it to cover up smelly breath that may be caused by gum disease.
