A member asked:
I'm 80! what type of toothpaste or mouthwash should i use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Check with your dentist/hygienist. However, if your mouth is healthy you should be able to use any toothpaste brand. For mouthwash, try using an alcohol free brand. It is the actual mechanical function (the brushing) which cleanses the teeth.
