Mouthwashes are liquid solutions used to maintain oral hygiene, combat bad breath, and help prevent dental issues like plaque and gum disease.
They typically contain antiseptic agents, flavoring, and other ingredients to clean the mouth and freshen breath.
Mouthwashes are used by swishing the liquid in the mouth and then spitting it out.
