Green tea mouthwash for plaque and gum health
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a pure green tea mouthwash can reduce plaque and gum inflammation better than a placebo or an essential oils mouthwash. It may be a good option if you have healthy gums and are looking for a natural alternative.
