Using mouthwash regularly can be very beneficial to your oral health. Still, there are a lot of people who don’t use mouthwash correctly or effectively enough to reap the full benefits of a rinse. If you plan on adding or keeping mouthwash in your dental regimen, there are few things to remember the next time you swish: 1. You should gargle and swish for at least 60 seconds. Most of the chemicals found in mouthwash will not even begin to work until 1 minute has passed. Otherwise, you’re just swilling and spitting out. 2. Use mouthwash alongside other brushing and flossing. Remember that mouthwash gives your oral health a boost, not a cure for problems . 3. Stick to alcohol free mouthwash. Most of the problems associated with mouthwash come from the high alcohol content. Using alcohol free rinse will be safer for your gums and teeth while still giving them the care they need. 4. Ask your friendly dentist at Pearl Dental clinic, what mouthwash is best for you. Nobody knows wha...

Bad breath, medically called halitosis, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth may be a warning sign of gum (periodontal) disease. If gum disease continues untreated, it can damage the gums and jawbone. Halitosis, or bad breath, most often starts in the mouth. Poor oral hygiene allows food debris to collect on the surface of the tongue, between the teeth or along the gingival (gum) tissue that surrounds the teeth. Naturally occurring bacteria in your mouth then break down those food particles, releasing chemicals that have a strong odor.  The bacterial film called “plaque” that occurs naturally in your mouth can build up if not removed regularly through good oral hygiene practices. The bacteria in plaque give off an odor that affects your breath. Besides Gum infection, untreated deep carious lesions also create the retention area for food debris and dental bacterial plaque and...
