Fresh minty breath smell after you after using mouthwash doesn’t mean it’s clean! The artificial smell that most of the mouthwash contains helps to increase the freshness and improve the smell of your breath and also have fluoride that helps restore minerals to your teeth which have been lost due to the acidic food like soda, juice or wine. It helps to prevent tooth decay and strengthen teeth. However, no amount of using mouthwash can remove the plaque out of your teeth. 

Plaque is a coating of bacteria along the teeth and gums that build up thought out the day and night. If not cleaned properly can lead to gingivitis and other diseases, as well as, bad breath and tooth decay.
