News: Mouth Wash Vs. Warm Salt Water

I went to the dentist on Saturday for a check up and cleaning. He said my teeth are aligned pretty good (despite the fact I have a couple of teeth that aren't straight). He also commented I never had any cavities and that my teeth are healthy. He also mentioned I didn't have any "active" gum disease and that he could see I floss and brush my teeth properly. However, he noticed gum disease from previous food in my teeth that haven't been cleaned by a dentist. He did all the cleaning and said once I keep how I am doing now, I won't need anything else. For me, the salt water was the MIRACLE worker. My gums were bleeding badly some months ago and I started using warm water with salt. I could see the difference from the first time! And now, it's part of my routine. I floss every single tooth thoroughly, brush them and then use the salt water. I will never go back to mouth wash, warm salt water is a GREAT healer!
