Dentist and orthopedist Alen Gafizov said that mouth rinses cannot replace brushing your teeth.
“Regular mechanical brushing of teeth is necessary twice a day. Only with its help can you clean your teeth from plaque, which forms during the day and forms a rather dense film on the enamel,” he said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
According to him, the rinse can only enhance the effect after cleaning.
The doctor also noted that there are hygienic and cosmetic rinses. In addition, there are preventive and therapeutic agents.
“Often their importance is underestimated when buying only toothpaste and a brush for care, but the product significantly slows down the formation of plaque, prevents caries and improves the condition of the gums,” he added.
Earlier, the director of the children's dental studio, dentist Victoria Sheludkova, spoke about habits that are harmful to dental health.
