A Cost-Effective Alternative to Alcohol-Based Mouthwash

Dentists recommend gargling with at least 15 ml of mouthwash for at least 60 seconds daily to effectively reduce bad breath. However, most mouthwash users don’t follow this exactly. 15 ml of mouthwash creates too much sting for the mouth to endure, even for just 30 seconds.

Common mouthwashes contain alcohol and strong artificial flavors that cause stinging sensations inside the mouth.

To escape the unbearable stinging sensation and uncomfortable aftertaste, a common practice among regular alcohol-based mouthwash users is to gargle with the recommended 15 ml of mouthwash for less than 30 seconds, after which they would rinse the mouthwash away with another gargle of water. 

Water surely washes away the sting and aftertaste but it also washes away the efficacy of the mouthwash.

For some people who don’t want to rinse the mouthwash off after gargling, diluting the alcohol-based mouthwash with water makes it more “mouth-friendly”. But what users don’t know is they are actually reducing the mouthwash’s efficacy against bad breath by diluting it with water.
 
Besides creating a burning sensation in the mouth that regular mouthwash users “associate” with disinfection, alcohol-based mouthwashes only mask bad breath, giving users a false sense of freshness, nothing more, nothing less.

“Thinning” alcohol-based mouthwashes are also perceived to be “cost-efficient” as they extend the use of the product over a longer period of time, translating to more savings. But what users don’t know is they stand to spend more in dental care maintenance and treatment later on.

Now, mouthwash users have a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to using alcohol-based mouthwashes – OraCare mouthrinse.

OraCare is a no-alcohol, no-sting mouthrinse which contains the breakthrough stabilized chlorine dioxide to effectively eliminate bad breath. It also has peppermint flavor and purified water that are gentle in the mouth area.

Unlike alcohol in common mouthwashes that only masks bad breath, OraCare’s stabilized chlorine dioxide works by oxidation to get rid of the source of bad breath – volatile sulfur compounds (VSC).

OraCare mouthrinse gently deep cleanses, reaching areas of the mouth where toothbrushing cannot – under the tongue, back of the mouth and walls – reducing plaque build-up and eliminating odor-causing mouth bacteria – to provide a breath of real freshness.

As a daily oral care, OraCare mouthrinse offers big savings. As opposed to a US-branded P600 mouthwash which also contains stabilized chlorine dioxide, OraCare mouthrinse is truly affordable, pegged at P57 for an 80 ml bottle, P142.00 for a 250 ml bottle or P 253.00 for a 500ml bottle. 

Using OraCare mouthrinse is also cost-effective. With its disinfecting action on mouth bacteria and VSC, OraCare mouthrinse helps stop the development of mouth and dental problems, which can prove costly to treat later on.

With OraCare mouthrinse, mouthwash users can now be sure to gargle thoroughly, longer with the dentist-recommended 15 ml mouthwash to eliminate bad breath at its source, once and for all – for a breath of real freshness.

Manufactured by pharmaceutical firm Pascual Laboratories, Inc., OraCare mouthrinse is now available at all leading supermarkets, groceries and drugstores nationwide.
