But understanding the differences will help in selecting the right rinse to use.
Different Rinses for different purpose..
Mouthwash
Mouthwash freshen your breath and help wash away food particles, but they are not a replacement for a regular routine of brushing twice-daily and flossing daily. Most standard over-the-counter mouthwashes contain breath-freshening ingredients but do not contain fluoride unless the label says otherwise.
Fluoride Rinse
A fluoride mouth rinse works by protecting your teeth from acids produced by bacterial plaque. The fluoride in a fluoride rinse integrates itself into the enamel coating of your teeth to help protect against cavities. This is not a substitute for brushing twice-daily and flossing daily.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate Rinse
Chlorhexidine gluconate rinses are highly-effective prescription treatments commonly marketed in formulations containing 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, with 11.6% alcohol. An alcohol-free formula has been introduced in the United States that is reportedly as effective as formulas with alcohol. Chlorhexidine rinses are indicated for use between dental visits as part of a professional program for the treatment of gingivitis and are generally considered the gold standard for therapeutic rinses.
