Brushing Is Not Enough

Brushing is not enough to prevent tooth decay and bad breath for it doesn’t clean hard-to-reach areas where plaque and bacteria-causing bad breath proliferate. When our mouth has strong odors, we know for sure that it isn’t thoroughly clean so we need to regularly rinse our mouth. But how will one know which mouthwash is the most effective?

To choose a mouthwash that truly prevents bad breath, first one must know what causes it. Bad breath is brought about by bacteria that thrive in lack of oxygen, and when they come in contact with certain amino acids, they produce foul smelling gases or volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) that cause bad breath.

Mouthwash types act differently on odor-causing VSCs to “stop” bad breath. They are classified based on their active ingredients: the alcohol-based and alcohol-free mouthrinses.

Alcohol-based mouthwash uses alcohol such as ethanol or panthenol to combat bad breath. The alcohol and the strong flavors are responsible for the harsh stinging sensation.

Contrary to what most think, alcohol in mouthwash doesn’t stop bad breath; it merely masks the foul odor with its biting mint flavor so one would think the odor is gone. Some experts noted even that alcohol actually worsens bad breath because alcohol, as a drying agent, dries out mouth and prevents saliva from naturally washing away VSC. And though it reduces plaque, it quickly loses its breath freshening effect anytime from 10 minutes to an hour after use.

Unlike its alcoholic counterpart, alcohol-free mouthwash genuinely stops bad breath with the breakthrough Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide action. It works by oxidizing anaerobic microbes and odor-causing VSCs. Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide is patented and proven to effectively and safely eliminate all odors and prevent plaque build-up, leaving a clean, fresh feeling. It is non-carcinogenic, non-toxic and non-allergenic that even babies can use it. OraCare is an alcohol-free mouthrinse, it gently deep cleanses even in hard to reach areas, reducing plaque build-up and stops odor-causing bacteria from spreading.

OraCare goes to work immediately upon contact with bacteria in the mouth and through its natural oxidation process, it releases oxygen that breaks down the cell wall of bacteria and eliminates odor-causing volatile sulfur compounds.

OraCare Mouthrinse contains purified water, Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide and peppermint flavor for an effective yet soothing gargling experience.
