Rinsing with salt water seems to work well for me. I have no idea what the science says about it though. But there is some talk in new treatments about ionizing stimulating healing, and I wouldn't be surprised if salt water does a bit of that too.?
I also wouldn't be surprised if it helps remineralize. Very subjectively it feels like it does a little, but it's easy to fool oneself with wishful thinking. Preferably have a dentist monitor results.
My hygienist recommended that I use salt water instead of mouthwash, so I’d think you’re probably barking up the right tree
I am allergic to some types of mouthwash so I was told to use salt water but not as often as you'd use regular mouthwash (only every few days) because it's rougher on your teeth or some such, I can't remember the reasoning.
