Which is better: toothpaste or mouthwash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toothpaste : However this is primarily because toothpaste requires a toothbrush. The toothbrush is best since it provides the mechanical removal of plaque and debris on teeth. This is much better than over the counter mouthwash.
