Wait, so the summary states clearly, that a.) flossing is effective b.) mouth rinsing is more effective?!? It seems to good to be true, why does not every producer of mouth rinsing make advertisement with this? I also always ask my dentists about tips for dental hygiene, and none every recommend mouth rinsing. (Germany)
Some of the newer rinses keep plaque at bay for quite awhile. Itβs incredibly obvious when I happen to run out before buying a new bottle.
I was stupid enough to believe the interview with a dentist a few month back in a reputable German newspaper. Now I feel dump for not doing my own research. Thanks for helping me out of ignorance!
