Ready to simply and effectively take your oral hygiene routine to the next level? Our Tinley Park dentists are here to help. Keep reading to learn more about how rinsing your smile can jump-start some smile-boosting results…
Disrupt Plaque
By simply swishing a liquid around your mouth and between your teeth you work to dislodge plaque and dental debris that are stuck between your teeth. This is why we strongly encourage our patients to, at least, rinse their smiles with water after every meal and snack. This simple habit refreshes your mouth and clears away the sugars and refined carbohydrates that oral bacteria need to survive.
Encourage Saliva
Rinsing your mouth also jump-starts saliva production. Did you know that saliva helps your natural dental enamel to remineralize, making it stronger? If you find yourself dealing with dry mouth on a regular basis, talk to your dentist about additional steps you can take to encourage saliva—your smile will thank you!
Ingredients
Many mouthrinses are formulated with helpful ingredients that help to freshen breath or improve oral health. Look for ingredients like fluoride, peroxide, cetylpyridinium chloride, and chlorhexidine, to strengthen teeth, discourage bacteria, and whiten teeth.
Rinsing your mouth throughout the day takes very little time, and it can deliver results that you can see and feel. If you’re looking for additional information and guidance, our Orland Park dentists are here for you! Give our team a call, or use the Contact Us page on our website to get started.
