Mouth rinses: All mouth rinses only mask and offer temporary relief, at best, for bad breath. The cause, dental or medical or both have to be addressed for maintaining a fresher breath. Start by seeing your dentist for an evaluation and advice.

No difference : About 25 %-30% of Americans suffer from chronic bad breath. The most common cause of the bad breath is bacteria. Bacteria that cause bad breath release sulfur compounds and it stinks. Regardless, what kind of mouthwash is used, the best way to get rid of bacteria: floss and brush teeth and clean the tongue twice a day. Also see your dentist on the regular basis at least 2X a year.
