[title] Use over the counter pain relievers. [step] While you might not want to stop the use of over the counter meds (look through your medical textbook or the self-help manual), you might want to reduce your pain or discomfort by switching to over the counter pain relievers. It works by killing bacteria that could interfere with the cleanmaking process. Rinsing your mouth with a soft cloth before you ingest the mouthwash will also help exfoliate your gums. Only use the mouthwash as directed by your doctor or a pharmacist. Using mouthwash with chlorhexidine can stain your teeth brown so only use it occasionally. [substeps] You should use this mouthwash twice per day, at minimum seven days a week. If you're trying to clean your gums, don't try to use the mouthwash once more, as it can irritate the gums.
