Does mouthwash help prevent gingivitis?!
Question: Does mouthwash help prevent gingivitis?
I always brush twice daily, can't floss because it makes me bleed real bad &started using mouthwash regularly about a month &a half ago. I'm trying to do this right because I know I'm supposed to brush 3 times a day but I always forget in the middle of the day [unless I'm going out] and I lately I worry about gingivitis I don't know why. So I'm wondering if mouthwash helps prevent gingivitis or do I also have to floss? :S
Answers:
Yes, but you have to use it over time. I Like listerine best. I use the traditional 'yellow' Because it tastes like crap. I'm a bit of masochist that way I don't believe medicine should taste good or be 'fun' Unless you're a kid. BTW Listerine works great on Athletes foot as well.
