Do patients truly understand how mouthrinses work? Some may think of them as “magic bullets” that will cure their dental ailments with just a swish and spit. Oral health professionals, however, know that this is not the case. Patients still need advice on the proper usage and selection of mouthrinses, and the best resource for mouthrinse information is you—their dental hygienist. As the dental team member whose focus is prevention, your knowledge of mouthrinses is paramount to providing excellent patient care. With so many different mouthrinses on the market today, keeping up to date on the prod- ucts available is challenging. This Dimensions of Dental Hygiene mouthrinse guide is intended to help you sort through both the therapeutic and cosmetic mouthrinse options. When consider- ing over-the-counter therapeutic mouthrinses, noting which products have received the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance is also helpful, as they have been evaluated for safety and efficacy. We hope you find this guide useful when making product recommen- dations to patients who wish to add rinsing to their daily oral care regimens. —Jill Rethman, RDH, BA Editor in Chief Note: Mouthrinse manufacturers in the United States were invited to submit information for this table.
