-“mouthwash” is a liquid which is held in the mouth passively or ‘swilled’ around the ‘mouth’ by contraction of the ‘perioral muscles’ and/or movement of the head, and may be gargled, where the head is tilted back and the liquid bubbled at the back of the ‘mouth’-
.
(usually mouthwashes are an ‘anti-septic solution’ intended to reduce the ‘microbial load’ in the ‘oral cavity’…)
.
(…although other mouthwashes might be given for other reasons such as for their ‘analgesic’ / ‘anti-inflammatory’ / ‘anti-fungal’ action)
.
(additionally, some rinses act as ‘saliva substitutes’ to neutralize ‘acid’ + keep the mouth ‘moist’ in ‘xerostomia’ (aka ‘dry mouth’))
“all dried right out…”
“all washed up…”
.
(‘cosmetic mouthrinses’ temporarily control or reduce ‘bad breath” + leave the mouth with (what most users consider) a ‘pleasant taste’)
