Many dental professionals believe that twice-daily brushing with a fluoride toothpaste provides enough fluoride for cavity protection. But if you're prone to cavities, you can use a fluoride mouthwash in addition to brushing and flossing your teeth.
Some studies have shown that mouthwashes with fluoride can supplement daily brushing with fluoride toothpastes, especially in areas where drinking water is not supplemented with fluoride. These mouthwashes are effective in strengthening the enamel of your teeth and protecting your teeth from acid damage; however, the mouthwashes have not demonstrated significant effectiveness against plaque-induced gingivitis or even more severe forms of gum disease. Yet another reason to brush and floss daily:
Switch to an electric toothbrush like the Oral-B iO Series 9 which features Smart Pressure Control and a Gum Care Mode to better protect and stimulate gums
Use a gum care toothpaste like Crest Gum Detoxify which neutralizes plaque bacteria and helps reverse gingivitis
Pair your regular string floss with a cordless irrigator like the Oral-B Water Flosser Advanced which deep cleans and detoxifies* below the gumline to help eliminate plaque bacteria for healthier gums
