Do you have a favorite mouthwash? Religiously rinsing with Listerine, Crest Pro-Health, or another leading wash is a good way to ensure better visits at our Lynnwood dentistry clinic. Unfortunately, if you tend to favor one and only one rinse, you might not be getting the full effect anymore.
This is according to a study conducted by Clinical Research Associates. Researchers observed that the bacteria in your mouth can gradually build up a resistance to your mouthwash. You can avoid this by rotating your mouthwash every two or three months. Try to find a second product that uses a different active ingredient than your favored rinse, and switch back and forth periodically.
