Hi sir both are best depending on its purpose of use. Salt water won't hurt your wound. So need not worry. Long term use salt water is the best. Short term use to prevent infection rexidine is good.

Did you undergo any dental surgery? If yes, your dentist would have recommended a mouthwash or some other medications. Just take what is prescribed. Avoid mixing different remedies. Just visit your dentist for a follow-up checkup. This will help you know the progress. Hope this helped.

Why do want to use a mouth wash is important.
Medicated mouth wash should be used only for a short period as per Dentist advice only.
For fresh breath you can use Himalaya saunf mouth wash or Colgate plax. Avoid Chlorhexidine containing mouth wash for daily use , it’s medicated
