Answers: Is it okay to use mouthwash more than twice a day?

It really depends on the mouthwash you are using. If it is burning when you swish it (alcohol based - Listerine/scope) it is not good for everyday use. It can cause bad breath and make some bacteria resistant over an extended period of time. It can also stain teeth and can cause dry mouth. Studies have also shown with extended use of these products some precancerous lesions. Using these products occasionally is ok...like if you get a sore throat or something like that.


I would recommend a rinse we use at our office called Closys...it is stabilized chlorine dioxide and kills the vsc bacteria only (the ones that cause bad breath and gum disease) It is about 12.00 a bottle but you only use a capful 2x per day so it lasts awhile...if you can't find that brand than the Crest pro health is second best in my book!

Yes, use it constantly.

duh...just dont swallow. silly. ?
