oral rinse

Liquid dental hygiene

Oral rinse is a liquid swished around the mouth to clean teeth and gums, freshen breath, or deliver medication.

The term is slightly more clinical than mouthwash, often appearing on product labels and in dental contexts: The dentist recommended an antibacterial oral rinse after the extraction.
