A member asked:

How effective is mouthwash? does it really do all that it claims with regular use? i use crest prorinse and it rebuilds enamel supposedly.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brush and floss : The best oral hygiene practices are brushing with a fluoride containing toothpaste after every meal, flossing once a day and visiting the dentist for a professional cleaning and exam at least once a year and more often if you have any periodontitis.
