OraCare Debunks Filipino Myths on Gargling

Filipinos have been using mouthwashes for quite some time. Because of this, mouthwash users have taken to certain habits and beliefs -- one of which is that the stinging sensation caused by alcohol-based mouthwashes means that the product really works.

Alcohol is the culprit behind that stinging sensation, but it actually does more harm than good. Alcohol leaves the mouth dry, which makes it a virtual haven for odor-causing bacteria. This actually makes one’s breath smell worse instead.  OraCare Mouthrinse brings a new mindset to mouthwash users. It contains no alcohol, yet is more effective than other alcohol-based mouthwashes in the market today.

Odor-causing bacteria found in the mouth are anaerobic, and oxygen is needed to get rid of them. OraCare’s breakthrough Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide, acts as an effective oxidizing agent and kills these bad bacteria that cause strong mouth odors.

Neil is a coffee addict and an active dater. “Using a mouthwash is a must for me, but I do have a problem with the strong aftertaste of alcohol-based mouthwashes. When I gargle before going out on a date, it’s sometimes hard to tell whether the food we’re eating tastes good or not,” he says.

One time, he tried using OraCare Mouthrinse, and has preferred it ever since.

Carla works in one of the country’s biggest financial institutions. There are times when she needs to meet clients while on the go, so having a mouthwash on hand helps a lot. But the stinging sensation that an alcohol-based mouthwash causes gets to her. “I just wish there’s a mouthrinse that would be more comfortable to use.” With OraCare’s no-sting formulation, Carla effectively solved her problem in just one rinse!" It looks and tastes like water; there’s no sting at all," Carla adds.

Regular mouthwash users believe that the trick to escaping the burning sensation caused by alcohol-based mouthwashes is to gargle quickly or to dilute the mouthwash with water.   However, these practices do lessen the efficacy of the mouthwash.

Because it does not sting, OraCare Mouthrinse lets you gargle longer and more effectively to eliminate strong mouth odors. It provides a cooling sensation that makes gargling a more pleasurable experience.  It’s also more convenient to use because there’s no need to add water – just rinse and you’re ready to go.

OraCare’s no alcohol, no sting formula definitely debunks the "no pain, no gain" adage of typical alcohol-based mouthwashes. After all, keeping your breath fresh does not need to be a painful experience.  With OraCare Mouthrinse, you can enjoy clean- smelling breath … with no sting attached!
