New research published in the January/February 2013 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), indicates that the use of a germ-killing mouthrinse in addition to regular toothbrushing can significantly reduce plaque and gingivitis, more so than brushing alone.It's 2013, people. The microbial nature of plaque was discovered in 1683, and the major species were documented by 1890.
I recommend Biotene mouth rinse, it contains the natural antibacterial sugar Xylitol, and is milder than the others. Healing is the goal, not eradication.
