Hi.

I have been using the Oral B Smart Series 4000 and I get the smiley face every time I brush so I'm doing the right thing. Using the Cordless Waterpik. I LOVE THE FEELING.

Someone told me he puts Listerine in the water of the Waterpik. I've never done that.

Some people say they know people who have rinsed only with Listerine, never saw a dentist in their lifetime, and have never had a cavity. Now if one never visits a dentist, how does one know they don't have an cavities?

Anyway, here's my question.

If one could buy the best possible mouthwash (with ALL the stuff on the shelves, it's mind boggling), then what would be the best one to use after one does all the brushing, flossing, waterpiking, etc.

I'm talking Good for the Gums, maybe getting plaque off gums, WHATEVER A MOUTHWASH is supposed to do.

There's all kinds of Listerines, Scopes, Tom's of maine (toothpaste, but I bet they make a mouthwash rinse).

There's a mouthwash that promises to take 90% of plaque off.

There's one called ACT.

I mean, how do we choose? Some have alcohol.

So please tell me and everyone else who visits this message board, what the experts feel is the best mouthwash on the market. (Or does it really matter WHICH mouthwash one uses.?

Thanks much
