What type of mouthwash should i use?

Listerine: Listerine really does work fantastically, but the alcohol is irritating. Crest pro health is a good second choice that has no burning taste. Mouth wash does not even remotely compare to the effectiveness of proper flossing and brushing. Mouth wash helps when you have healthy gums, but it should not be a substitute for good hygiene.

Depends: Do you need it for bad breath, tooth decay or gum disease? All mouthwashes with the ada seal of approval have Fluoride in them. That helps with tooth decay and may also help with gum disease. There are others like closys that work best on bad breath.
