Dr. Milne, do mouth rinses really do any good?

Answer from Jeffrey Milne DDS:

The Food and Drug Administration classifies mouth rinses into two categories - therapeutic and cosmetic.

In general, therapeutic rinses with fluoride have been shown to actually fight cavities, plaque and gingivitis.

On the other hand, cosmetic rinses merely treat breath odor, reduce bacteria and/or remove food particles in the mouth. They do nothing to treat or prevent gingivitis.

People who have difficulty brushing (because of physical difficulties such as arthritis) can benefit from a good therapeutic mouth rinse.

Caution: Even rinses that are indicated to treat plaque or cavities are only moderately effective. In fact, regular rinsing with water and use of good quality fluoride toothpaste are just as or more effective.

Dental veneerPorcelain veneers are custom made porcelain shells which are bonded to front the surface of your teeth. Veneers are designed and recommended to change the color of stained teeth, fill in gaps or spaces between teeth, replace edges of teeth that are chipped, lengthen teeth that are worn and instantly straighten crooked teeth. The procedure consists of gently removing enough tooth structure so there is room for the porcelain veneer. The amount of tooth structure removed depends on the esthetic goals you are trying to achieve. Expert cosmetic dentists will always try to create the most beautiful smiledesign in the most conservative manner possible. Cosmetic dentists who are passionate about creating gorgeous healthy smiles understand the art and science required to achieve stunning results. Teeth are never one color and even though we all would like our smiles to be brilliantly white, making a veneer one white shade would result in a less than impressive result.

Creating healthy white smiles requires the artistic eyes and hands of a dedicated cosmetic dentist and a master ceramist in a cosmetic dental lab.You may only need a couple veneers to achieve your goals or you may consider a smile makeover to obtain that beautiful smile you have always desired. Veneers are an option which could make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel about yourself. Your new smile will appear natural, healthy and last for years.
