Use a Mouth Rinse

Now that youve done everything else on the list to make your mouth truly kissable, theres one last, quick refresher. In addition to brushing and flossing, your dentist may recommend an American Dental Association approved therapeutic mouth rinse. Such rinses have been judged to be safe for consumers and effective for specific uses, such as controlling gingivitis, delivering fluoride and controlling bad breath. Cosmetic mouth rinses are also available. They may mask breath odor but do not address the source of the problem, nor do they affect the teeth or gums. For an effective solution closer to home, mix ordinary saltwater (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup warm water) to remove plaque and kill odor causing bacteria.Good oral hygiene isnt terribly time consuming; it requires a few minutes a few times a day. This small investment can result in a healthy, dazzling, kissable mouth.
