Wondering if it's okay to use mouthwash more than twice a day?

Specializes in Dentistry

Yes and no: Yes it is however if your breath is bad you should see your dentist to be sure there is not another cause like gum disease. If your gums are healthy then you may consider an ent/gi specialist to diagnose why you have halitosis.
