Make the Most of Mouthwash

Most of us grab mouthwash to tame bad breath, but that's like buying an iPhone just to make calls. It can do so much more! According to the American Dental Association, mouth rinses can help control and event prevent tooth decay, reduce plaque, and prevent gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease. They can also help to slow the rate at which tartar, or hardened plaque, collects on the teeth.
