A member asked:
In what ways can mouthwash be good for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kills bacteria: There are many different types of mouthwashes. They all will kill bacteria but only for a short time until bacteria starts forming again. Fresher breath for a time. Be sure to brush and floss first.
