What mouthwash really works?

Question

Ive tried alot of mouthwash.What mouthwash really whitens your teeth and keeps your breath fresh for hours

Answer 1

Mouthwash isn't the best way to fully clean your mouth.

However, I do have some suggestions on the teeth whitening/breath thing.

Here's a cheap home remedy I learned for whitening teeth:

Mix some peroxide with baking soda, dip your tooth brush in, and gently brush the surface of the front of your teeth. Rinse.

It works great, but don't do this too often. It may ruin the enamel.

Contrary to a lot of things you've probably heard, mouthwash doesn't really make your breath that fresh. It's alcohol based, so it actually dries your mouth over time, giving bad breath quickly. Drinking lots of water and practicing good oral hygeine habits is much more effective.
