Q: What mouthwash is best for halitosis? I know it doesn’t cure it, but I’m getting treatment for bad gum disease and need a way to control the halitosis until my mouth is healthy again. I’m looking for a mouthwash that will last more than an hour.
A: There are a number of over the counter mouth rinses that can help until you get your necessary periodontal treatment. I highly recommend a LANAP laser trained periodontist to do your evaluation. There is a Chlorhexidine mouth rinse that is by prescription.
