Which Mouthwash Should You Use

The process of using mouthwash seems pretty simple: swish, gargle and spit. But, what most people misunderstand is not all mouthwash is created equal. In fact, do you know if you’re using the right kind of mouthwash while being treated at Bailey Orthodontics?

Mouthwash is used for a variety of reasons. Check out those reasons right here:

1. · freshen your breath,
2. · helps to prevent dental decay,
3. · reduce the amount of plaque, or
4. · to prevent or reduce gingivitis (an early stage of gum disease)

Even though there are basic ingredients in a mouthwash (water, cleansing agents, flavoring ingredients, etc.) they tend to differ with their active ingredients. Again, not all mouthwash is created equal.

The main types of mouth rinses are:

• Odor neutralizers
• Antibacterial mouthwash
• Fluoride mouthwash

If you have any questions make sure to ask us the next time you’re in for an appointment. We can help guide you when deciding what kind of mouthwash will be best for your particular oral health. Also, remember, although it can become part of your daily oral hygiene regime, mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing or flossing.

Beverages That Are Bad For Braces

When being treated at Bailey Orthodontics, patients are encouraged to make necessary to make diet modifications to protect the braces and to ensure the health of the tissues in the mouth. It is advised by Dr. Bailey to avoid or completely eliminate a list of beverages during treatment for this reason.

Drinks suggestive of causing dental decay by your dentist should be restricted while having braces on. This includes drinks high in sugar and acid. If high sugary food is to be consumed, it is limited to meal times or once in a day. The mouth produces more saliva during meals which, in turn help to neutralize the acids and rinse food from mouth. In between snacks should be confined to those without refined sugar and avoided if possible.

• Fizzy/ soft drinks – sodas especially cola 
• Sports drinks – isotonic and energy drinks 
• Fruit juices – lemon juice has citric acid 
• Sweetened liquids – syrup and honey 

What drinks are safe?
Water from the tap is proven to be the best. It is a natural source and is rich in fluoride. 6-8 glasses of water per day will keep you away from sugary drinks and fatty foods high in sugar. It helps to wash away food coloring and chemicals and sugars consumed from soda. This feature is absent with mineral water. Milk is another alternative, low in sugar and acids, with an added benefit high in calcium, keeping your teeth and bone strong and healthy. Drinks like 7up do not have these acids.
