Q: Does using mouthwash really help?

Studies have proven that if used on a regular basis, a fluoride-based mouthwash can reduce and even prevent the threat of tooth decay, the leading cause of gum disease. But remember, fluoride-based mouthwash is not recommended for children six years old and younger due to the threat of them accidentally swallowing it.
