Mouthwashes have anti-inflammatory or anti-fungal properties, which enable them to reduce swelling or inflammation in the mouth. The products also ensure that the mouth maintains a good level of alkaline condition by neutralizing the acidity in saliva. With the saliva being alkaline, microorganisms cannot thrive in such conditions. The absence of microorganisms promotes good breath.

Using a mouthwash involves taking the required amount orally. Then rinse the mouth by swishing or gangling for about thirty seconds then spit it out. There as some rules to be followed when using a mouth rinse such as one should not rinse their mouth with water after they have used a mouthwash. They should also not drink or consume any food immediately after using a mouth rinse.

An additional rule is to avoid using mouthwashes immediately after brushing teeth. The reason is that the beneficial fluoride residue from the toothpaste will be washed away when rinsing the mouth. It is also important to spit the toothpaste from the mouth as opposed to rinsing it away using water. Rinsing also removes the beneficial residual fluoride.
