Hello, once again I am Dr. Kelly with Kelly Dentistry, and we have been talking about maintaining good oral hygiene. Now, we are going to talk about mouth rinses. There is a variety of mouth rinses, and these mouth rinses are good to fight against any bacteria such as plaque and gingivitis, to prevent gingivitis.

We have this product here that is purely for cosmetic reason, it just hides bad breath. We have this product here that has the ADA seal, and this has proven to be the most effective. It fights against bacteria and it hides bad breath, but it does contain alcohol.
