Best Mouthwash

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

This is the best mouthwash for freshening your breath and whitening your teeth. Swish for a solid minute, gargle before you spit, and don't rinse with water for 2 to 3 minutes. That's what I do and it is a bit time consuming but it is the only mouthwash I have noticed whiten my teeth and keep my breath fresh for longer. Also a little goes a long way too, just fill to the line provided!

No it doesn't taste amazing, but that it because Colgate decided to make mouthwash that worked rather than tasted good. Tilt your head forward while swishing to avoid some of the contact with your tongue!

I like a good fresh rinse. This fits the bill plus does help to whiten your teeth, especially in between the teeth. I noticed results right away and my teeth were already in good shape. I use this with the newest Optic White toothpaste, and I am so pleased.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I did some research on the chemicals that went into the product, and are used widely in Cosmetic Dentistry. So these products should be in much diluted form. However mouth wash was to my understanding is just an extra dental protection, until some manufacturing giants make it look otherwise.

I was a Listerine Antiseptic Adult Mouthwash, Cool Mint, 33.8 Fl Oz user for very long time; until my Dentist suggested to use only Alcohol free mouth wash. Since then have been using Crest Pro-health Multi-Protection Alcohol Free, Clean Mint/Clear Mint (Package may vary), 1-liter Bottles (Pack of 3) from Costco. It does not burn , your mouth feels good.

CHEMICAL COMPARISION :
Colgate has a slew of chemicals Water, Glycerin, Propylene glycol, Sorbitol, Hydrogen peroxide, Polysorbate 20, Sodium acrylates / methacryloyethyle phosphate copolymer, phosphoric aid, citric acid, PVM/MA copolymer sodium saccharin

Cresh has Cetylpyridinium Chloride.

EXPERIENCE: I liked the taste of Crest vs Colgate but is not a deal breaker. It is not bad at all and will get used to it soon if the benefits are better.

CLAIMS :
Crest claims to kills germs, reduces plaque, heps prevent gingivitis,keeps teeth cleaner longer, Colgate claims to whiten by removing surface stains and helping to prevent future stains. Multi care whitening rinse, enamel safe and kills bad breath germs. So I have to assume it does everything that Crest does and also whitens teeth.

MY WORRIES:
I only have google to substantiate but all I know is Hydrogen peroxide is very effective treatment when you have problems with Canker sores , tooth ache etc . So it is a form of medicine . I read in google that it is a bleaching agent as well . Not convinced If I need bleaching agent going to my mouth on a daily basis ( When Crest seem to be doing the job without it). Also Hydrogen peroxide is cheap enough that it is used for dental issues widely in countries like India and China ( when a tooth ache ache does not go away ). Other chemicals are fine under doctor supervision but using it every day , some of which tend to end up in your stomach...

If you are comfortable with it, go for it
