Save your teeth, gums and your money with these Listerine 1+1 deals on Shopee

Besides Valentines did you know that we also celebrate Philippine Dental Health month? It actually started as National Dental Health week in 1951 but was expanded into a month long celebration in 2004 by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Led by the Philippine Dental Association, the observance aims to strengthen public awareness on the importance of the good oral health. It encourages dentists, students, relevant government agencies, and professional organizations to reach out to more people with no access to dental services, especially those who are in countryside.

When you think about it, it kind of makes sense, since you probably need good dental care and fresh breath if you want to find a Valentine’s date, or make sure that it isn’t going to be your last. Oh and you don’t get a free pass because everyone now wear face masks.

While we’ve learned that brushing three times a day keeps our teeth healthy and strong, we are not usually taught the importance of finishing it up with some mouthwash.

Using mouthwash can be a significant part of maintaining your oral health and improving your smile. However, how do you know for certain that you are getting everything you can out of your daily rinse?

Mouthwash can prevent a number of oral health problems before they start. For example, regularly using mouthwash prevents gingivitis and gum disease by killing the bacteria that would otherwise infect the dental sockets and gums. It can prevent the buildup of plaque, strengthen the enamel, and demineralize your teeth, allowing you to prevent tooth decay.

Unfortunately, mouthwash is not able to remove the plaque and food residue from your teeth as effectively as brushing. Therefore, you should really only use mouthwash as a supplement to your brushing and flossing routine.

It also doesn’t cure bad breath. While mouthwash is great for reducing bad breath, it does not remedy the root cause and the effects of mouthwash are certainly not long-term. This is because mouthwash kills odor-causing bacteria in the mouth, but it is not able to reach those that may reside elsewhere, such as in the lungs. Bad breath may also be a symptom of a greater problem—such as gastroesophageal reflux disease—which can is only masked by the pleasant smell of mouthwash, rather than remedied.

Not all mouthwashes are the same as different variants have different functions just as different flavors have different tastes. Antibacterial mouthwash, for example, controls plaque buildup and bad breath by killing the harmful bacteria in your mouth while others are used to fight the bacteria that is could cause harm to your gums.

Had I knows the importance of using mouthwash when I was younger, I would have probably saved some of my teeth and didn’t have to lose them. Now I make sure I carry mouthwash in the car and in my bag to keep my breath fresh.

So if you still haven’t started the habit, its best to start now especially with these amazing deals from Shopee and Listerine!
