I recently had a tooth extraction and a filling. I’m 69, and up until now, my teeth and gums have been healthy. Is there a natural mouthwash I could use?

Several natural home remedies can help to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The most simple mouthwash solution is salt dissolved in warm water. My dental hygienist swears by this and recommends it over commercial preparations.
