A mouthwash or mouth rinse is a liquid which is swilled around the mouth or passively held by the contraction of perioral muscles or the movement of the head. Mouthwashes can also be gargled when tilting the head backwards. Mouthwash is used to reduce the microbial activity in the oral cavity. These are also used for their anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic uses. An antiseptic mouthwash contains an antibacterial formula which helps fight plaque, bad breath, and gingivitis. Such mouthwashes can temporarily reduce or control bad breath while leaving a pleasant taste.
