We all know that brushing and flossing are key to a healthy mouth but one step that may be missing from your oral care routine is using mouthwash. One of the biggest benefits of using mouthwash in addition to regular brushing and flossing is cleaning those hard-to-reach spaces in the mouth, which can even save you and your family trips to the dentist.
While it’s easy to purchase over-the-counter mouthwash, making your own homemade mouthwash offers many additional benefits. Not only is it cheaper to make your own mouthwash, but DIY mouthwash also enables you to customize your rinse to target the specific concerns you may be having such as bad breath, irritated gums, or tooth pain.
Simple ingredients like baking soda, turmeric, and cinnamon can do wonders for your mouth by zapping bad breath and giving your mouth a soak in anti-inflammatory properties. Making the switch to DIY mouthwash can leave you with a fresh smile without the irritating and harsh ingredients that many over-the-counter mouthwashes include.
