Summary
This study tested a mouthwash made from the smoke tree (Cotinus Coggygria) to see if it could reduce bad breath and improve oral hygiene in 30 teenagers with braces.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural mouthwash option to reduce bad breath and improve gum health for teens with braces.
