I just want to know which mouthwash is the best to use.

there any out there that kill germs, contain flouride, fight gingivitis and plaque, reduce tartar,etc? I know Listerine works well but does it contain (fluoride to fight cavities)? It is strong and when I use it, the tissue in my mouth starts to loosen (a lot of white tissue gets loose). Listerine now has the Vanilla Mint so maybe it wouldn't be as harsh on my mouth as the others. Also, I saw commercials for Crest Pro-Health and they claim it has a lot of benefits.

it work if I use Colgate Tartar Control toothpaste or should I use the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and mouthwash combination. I also saw ACT mouthwash which contains a lot of fluoride, but does it help with other things such as gingivitis, plaque, tartar,etc. What would anyone recommend that I use? Thanks!

when was the last time you visited the dentist?
