Mouthwash daily
I have been asked by my dentist to use Colgate Plax mouthwash 10ml twice daily after brushing. I have no dental problem currently. Is it a safe recommendation for daily use?and is Colgate Plax fine to be used?

Its a mild mouthwash so it can be used daily. No harm.
If you don't want to use twice then use at least before bedtime.
Also if you don't want to use it daily, then sometimes salt water gargle and sometimes mouthwash are a good option.
