Step 3 - Rinsing

Mouthwashes are designed to freshen the mouth by killing the bacteria that cause bad breath. The ideal mouthwash contains fluoride, an antibacterial agent and is gentle enough on the teeth and gums.

Use 20-30mL of undiluted mouthwash, and swish it around your mouth and between your teeth for 30 seconds. Spit after rinsing, as mouthwash should not be swallowed.
