    This document discusses the multifaceted uses of mouthwashes in dental clinics. It summarizes various studies that found chlorhexidine mouthwashes reduce plaque by 55% and gingivitis by 45% over two years. The American Dental Association approved mouthwashes in 2007 for reducing plaque and gingivitis. Mouthwashes can be used as anti-plaque rinses for gingivitis, fluoride rinses for preventing cavities, desensitizing rinses, and rinses for halitosis, xerostomia, and alternatives for those with allergies. The need is to effectively deliver proven therapies through mouthwashes rather than searching for new therapies.
