slo’s TUESDAY 7/9 poll - Mouthwash

[slo]

There are lots of different types of mouthwash available to buy, but which one do you use?
I’m curious today….

Do you use a mouthwash?
If yes…..what type do you use?
(multiple choice)



For Me…… I don’t use any types of mouthwash - I never have. I may start using a whitening one, because I think coffee and tea have stained my teeth. I’m going to ask my dentist his thoughts at my next visit.

 

[mommasita]

Yes, just crest clean mint!

My dentist gave me some samples of Listerine Total Care last year and I’ve been using it since.

 

[Kitty 34]

I just brush my teeth. No mouthwash here.

 

[where_else]

Thanks for reminding me to order mouthwash

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I use mouthwash every day. Twice a day, actually. TheraBreath has been a game changer for me. More than one of my medications gives me dry mouth, which was leading to my breath being less than unicorns and rainbows. I swish it around in my mouth for a minute, then gargle in my throat for another minute. Works like a charm.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Listerine !! It kills everything!!! If I feel like I’m getting a cold I start using it as I always get canker sores and that stuff takes care of it !!! It’s like rinsing with battery acid fresh breath and then some !!

At night I use a waterpik, I add a cap full of mouthwash to the water tank.

Dad uses Act Mint Mouthwash. I used this product for years before it changed taste. I just floss and brush a few times daily now.

 

[Micca]

No mouthwash for me. Just brushing & flossing.

 

[tvguy]

I use a prescription mouthwash, Chlorhexidine.

​

 

[Meriweather]

Crest Pro Health....morning and night

 

[CdnCarrie]

No just brush and floss.

 

[ronandannette]

I checked all the boxes except the “natural” one. There are lots of kinds and they make all sorts of claims on the labels but I’m not sure how different they actually are from one another. All I’m looking for is that bracing, fresh feeling and to zap whatever germs are lurking after brushing.

 

[White Cat]

After normal brushing we brush with a mouthwash that is for gum health.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I don't use mouthwash. But I will use some hydrogen peroxide occassionally.

 

[The Mayor]

I use mouthwash daily but not because of bad breath. I checked other because I use ACT mouthwash for dry mouth. My saliva glands got ruined from radiation so I have dry mouth constantly. The ACT mouthwash and prescription toothpaste help control the cavities that would result from the dry mouth.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Mostly brushing and flossing. I'll gargle with Cepacol if I have a sore throat, usually at Marie's insistence after a day or two. And I almost always carry those Listerine Pocket Pak strips to freshen up during the day.

 

[amcnj]

I was never a daily mouthwash user. I did buy some a couple of years ago as some studies showed it might help with the covid virus. So now I occasionally still try to use that up as a between brushings thing, if I am heading out somewhere. If I remember to use it that is.

I used to use listerine at night. Then I was having trouble with a newly placed crown still bothering me intermittently. My dentist thought the listerine was too harsh and suggested i stop using it and let things calm down in my mouth. It never calmed down and I needed a root canal on that tooth, but I never started the listerine back up. Maybe I should. I am really good about flossing.
