Wow! I didn’t know antiseptic and anti-cavity mouth washes were a thing. I thought mouth wash was just mouth wash. Thank you for uploading this video. Really helped!😁
I’m soooo sad I am just now finding your videos!!! I feel a binge coming on!!! Pls don’t stop, teeth health is so important, and I feel so many of us weren’t taught the proper way of care!!!
Too bad it's been a year because I would tell you to not take her advice on toothpastes and mouthwashes. This video just seems like a commercial for Listerine and ACT. Two of the worst mouthwashes out there. TheraBreath is a good mouthwash. There are other good mouthwashes out there as well. But I do not use mouthwash on a regular basis. I use a tooth powder by Frau Fowler. It contains baking soda, pink Himalayan salt, and peppermint and spearmint essential oils. Toothpaste is not good for your mouth because it will dry out your mouth and gums with the ingredient, sodium laurel sulfate. That's what makes the paste foamy like soap in your mouth. Dry gums are bad. The tooth powder that I use makes your mouth alkaline. That's the best thing for your mouth and gums. If the pH balance in your mouth is off, problems will arise. Most any mouthwash will throw off the pH balance in your mouth and dry it out. So will regular toothpaste. I haven't used paste in years. And I rarely use the mouthwash that I have.
I love that you talked about this! Thanks. I asked my hygienist about them, and she said they're ok. That was it! I tried to ask specifics, and she said I should read the label. So thanks again!
I think you're hygienist was trying to tell you something. Like stay away from them! 😂🤣 Listerine and Act are among the worst mouthwashes out there. They will dry out your mouth. And if you don't think you feel dry, then you've gone "dry-mouth blind" if you will. When I stopped using toothpaste and mouthwash many many years ago and switched to tooth powder, that's when I realized just how dry my mouth was before. Yuck and Ew all over! 😝 I ran out of my powder and it was taking longer for the next shipment so I just used the paste in the meantime. Right after brushing with that awful paste for the first time in a long time, my mouth immediately felt dry again. Something I haven't felt in years after not using paste and regular ol' mouthwash. Never again with the paste! 😜 I make sure I order extra powder and I order the next batch when I still have plenty left.
@@1Hope4All damn you're right. I switched to powder too and after reading your comment I realized why my mouth was so dry before. And they "recommend" to leave your paste on your tooth without rinsing....smh
I’m a dental assistant and I’m obsessed with oral hygiene for myself since starting 5 years ago. Before I was in dental I had a few fillings and hated getting them done due to gum irritation from injection site and matrix bands. Since I brush and floss 3x a day and use morning antiseptic and evening fluoride rinses I have no cavities and my teeth always feel clean. Love your content and I find it educational for myself in reviewing OHI to my patients
The only time my teeth felt completely clean all day even after eating or drinking was when I would religiously brush twice a day with Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste. The best I can describe it was like a continuous minty smoothness when I'd feel my teeth with my tongue that somehow didn't interfere with anything I ate but it's so hard to find now! I was so excited when I found it in Mexico but it wasn't the same. ☹️
I have a question. Can all types of bad breath be treated or cured? And I mean all types of various stages. Like severe halitosis. Or the severe ones cannot be treated/cured....please respond when you can
One among my members of the family is struggling with foul breath. Her mouth can be closed as well as the smell comes through her nose. She did not find any help from popping tic spearmint gum and breath mints. Nonetheless, she was tremendously assisted by this smelly breath treatment BestBadBreathRemedy9.blogspot.com I`m really glad that it neutralized her breath. .
With anticavity mouthrinses, some container sizes have a lower concentration of fluoride, and are labeled to be used twice a day. If people only want to use the mouthrinse once per day, it's important for them to read the label and make sure that they are getting the more concentrated version.
@@partycrashers22 I haven't compared concentration levels, but Act Anticavity (recommended in this video) is recommended to be used once per day, so I would assume that it contains a higher concentration of fluoride than some other varieties.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve been through the wringer with my teeth. I was never taught to brush, and I’ve been through different scandalous dentists, replacing six front crowns three times due to improper ethics and work. Now I'm 24 yrs old. Recently I had an implant on one of them because it was shaved down like a toothpick to place on one of the crowns. Also, an infection on the top of that tooth from the root canal of the previous doctor. I can FINALLY say I found a dentist I can trust. Everything is good and healing nicely. I’m a clean freak about my teeth now. So thank you for being a real one and informing people on proper dental hygiene. ……… And for anyone else reading, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T neglect your teeth. Please do something about it before it’s too late. I have one question, does the bottle have to say antiseptic on it? The one you recommend doesn't in the link.
Hello, I have gum disease and my front bottom tooth is a little loose and dentist told me Because I have gum disease so he cleaned them and I'm told I may lose my tooth unless I start looking after my gum so I started to brush and moth wash daily. Can I save that tooth it's a little loose like it will move a tiny bit and I had purple spots on my gums but since I've been keeping everything clean ive seen them starting to turn pink again.. so do u rekon it's not too late to save my teeth?
appreciate the explanation of the diffs between anti sep and cavity and best times to use them. thx really helped open my eyes on how to tackle my mouth cleaning regime thx again!
I love watching your videos! They're very helpful and informative. I watch them to help me in school (I'm in a dental assisting program rn) Plus, I love the comedy that you add in your videos! Thank you for this!
Thanks for the info, didnt know bout this. Been using antiseptic mouthwash the whole time thought it was for my teeth since im cavity prone. Im gonna change mouthwash right away. Thanks again.
I don’t use mouthwash, I use pre brush Plax because it helps to loosen up plaque and makes brushing much more effective. My last dentist visit the hygienist said keep doing what your doing.
The ACT mouthwash that I use has both. Cetylpyridinium chloride is the antiseptic ingredient and .05% sodium fluoride is the anti-cavity ingredient. Best of both worlds!
Great info. I was confused every time I was at the store and didn't know the difference in mouthwash. Teeth Talk Girl, you have a great personality that fits so good for your profession.
I am So glad I found this video , I just purchased act mouthwash and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for . zero alcohol and leaves my mouth feeling fresh all throughout the night, thanks!
Hypothetical if I would have watched this video during my Childhood days & had taken it seriously. I would have avoided a Root Canal. I have dentist-phobia! I really don't like dentist.
Don't like going either, for me, its the light above that makes my eyes water badly, even when i shut them. One of my dentist when i was younger had a tv on the roof, don't understand how people can keep their eyes open.
Two of your videos and am sold. Subscribed right there. At 48 yrs, just started wondering why tooth brushes have started having an attitude on me. Now am understanding everything. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I use the anti-cavity fluoride mouthwash with alcohol. I like to feel it’s burning sensation! No pain no gain. But don’t worry I floss and brush morning and night 24 and 365 days a year.
Oh, knowing this about what's best before bed, thats good to know. Or atleast to use the flouride one after I've used the antiseptic one after flossing in hopes its getting any bacteria ive just freed up and getting IN there. Knowing about how ur mouth gets dry when you sleep and THATS when cavities start forming....the flouride before bed makes sense. Moth toothpaste has it but....never thought to make sure 😅😳
I'm a dental hygienist in the UK and I would never recommend using a mouthwash immediately after brushing. There is more fluoride in toothpaste than there is in any mouthwash. Just spit out your toothpaste and dont rinse, let that high concentration fluoride sit on your teeth for a while. Why would you rinse off something that's high in fluoride with something lower in fluoride? If you want to use a mouthwash, use it separate to brushing, in the middle of the day, or after lunch, so you don't lose the benefits of the toothpaste.
yep! that is encouraged here too :) I'm with ya! and I also have a video explaining how toothpaste is best - but if you can't - then use the mouthwash :) here it is: th-cam.com/video/eRk3OEgSggU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. Helped me decide the best mouth wash. I like the part you mentioned before bed and got that one. That’s my plan. Brush and use mouth wash before bedtime and it helps clean throughout the night without eating or drinking until the next morning.
I went to the NHS dentist in early 2023 after missing appointments in 2006. The lovely lady didnt believe that I hadnt been checked in so long but have zero dental problems or issues. I brush twice daily & use Listerine purple. I don't drink or smoke but I do consume energy drinks & junk snacks daily.
Great videos! I have been a dental hygienist for 10 years and I really appreciate your time in getting the information out there. I thought I would mention, though, Listerine Zero is NOT an antiseptic rinse. We had a Listerine rep visit us in hygiene school who cautioned that it is basically a bad breath rinse and does not have the same therapeutic properties as their antiseptic rinses. If you check the label, it actually says "mouthwash" in the yellow strip where others will say "antiseptic." Great information otherwise. Keep it up!
I used to think the “eye watering, intense burning” was cleaning my mouth and tongue and it wasn’t! The best mouthwash for me is Therabreath or Cloysos. The more alkaline the better!
One among my members of the family is struggling with foul breath. Her mouth can be closed as well as the smell comes through her nose. She did not find any help from popping tic spearmint gum and breath mints.

I grew up decades ago - dentists never offered any information about taking care of one's teeth - and years later, I realized they had no idea what they were doing - except pretending u had cavities - and drilling away. There were no dental hygenists at the time. The dentists in NYC/Brooklyn, NY cleaned my teeth - something which they had no training and did a poor job. The dentist I go to now, in southern Calif., has state-of-the-art equipment and a great dental hygenist. Dentistry has come a long way --- and the mouth-washes have greatly improved. I also had no idea they actually help with keeping ur teeth from getting cavities (fluoride) and helping with the gums. I've been using a sonicare electric toothbrush for 25 years - and I highly recommend. Costco sells sets of 2 --- and there are several choices. Read the reviews on their site. Thanks for ur video - such helpful information.
Great video. Never knew there is a specific fluoride wash. When I brush my teeth in the evening, after my rinse I put a tiny bit of toothpaste on my brush and go around again but don’t spit it out. Toothpastes contains fluorides, so hoping that leaving it on during the night will help. The antiseptic one I’ve never used. I do not get why this is necessary. I’ve also heard it messes up PH levels in the mouth and kills good mouth bacteria but I may be wrong.
sounds like you're on team teeth! keep up the great work! and here's my video about the antispetics and how many of them are acidic so yep def messes up the microflora of the mouth -- hope you enjoy: th-cam.com/video/5aV1EeM9m-A/w-d-xo.html
this is so helpful. I didn't realize there are two main types of mouthwashes. I usually just buy the brown Listerine one which is an antiseptic. I'll now add this into my routine. thanks.
this was so interesting! thank you for this video :) i am hoping to be a dental hygienist in the future so your videos really help me and make me excited to be a dental hygienist!
Plax for a full minute before I brush. Then floss before I brush. Then wash out my mouth and finish up with a full minute of Listerine Antiseptic Cool Mint for a full minute. I use half as much as they recommend for twice as long. I have had my teeth cleaned twice in the last 10 years and have not lost a single tooth, instead of 3 cleanings and 3 teeth lost a year before. Works for me.
At every dentist checkup, they ask if I drink coffee because my teeth are stained. I brush twice a day and floss at night. I was thinking about adding a whitening mouth wash to my mornings and ACT restoring after lunch so I can reduce the staining of the 1 cup of coffee I drink per day in the morning. What are your thoughts?
Who else brushes first, then flosses, then uses mouthwash? I personally use ACT but only anticavity. I had no idea there was an antiseptic for gums. Will buy asap
Therabreath mild mint is the best mouthwash I’ve tried all other brands and this one works the best. No artificial color, no alcohol and it makes your breath fresh all day literally and no morning breath !
@@lovemuffin10101 apologize for the late reply but I had a quick question. Is it worth to buy Oxyfresh if you already have the TheraBreath mild mint mouthwash ?
I was not aware there were different types. I have a prescription toothpaste for fluoride. And then I use Sonicare mouthwash. I have an electric Sonicare toothbrush. I just found your videos and find them enjoyable
So I have a very gingivitis and plaque prone mouth,and I have an oral routine with everything in it.What mouthwash do you think would be best for me? ( brand,type,etc)
I started using listerine blue and my breath started getting worse and worse after using it to the point it was unbearable, I stopped using it all together and it improved vastly.
In a later video, she explains it, but most mouthwashes, especially Listerine, have a bad pH level. Find a mouthwash with a pH level above 6 or 7, and you will be good. And don’t forget that it has to be alcohol-free.
What's your opinion on therabreath mouthwash? That's what I use since those other mouth washes would make my breath worse because of the alcohol..the color ones too. Now I wonder am I harming my gums with only using therabreath?
I love ACT!! My dentist recommended it to me back in the 2000s and I've used it ever since. The cinnamon is the best!! My kids love the watermelon though haha.
I love the burning sensation, it makes me feel like "DIEEE GERMSSS" even if I'm tearing. It also points out the places where I haven't reached because they're not burning.
THE LISERINE TOTAL CARE IS MY FAVORITE i HAVE BEEN USING SINCE i WAS SMALL LOVE IT ONLY NOW USE THE pURPLE ONE i LIKE THAT BURN..THINK I AM USED TO IT..
Oh thank you for this and the other informative videos, I've just found your channel and subscribed, keep up the good work ❤️ and oh goodness the way you talk with a big smile on your face is so adorable it radiates joy and positivity 💕keep being awesome.. YOU ROCK
@@TeethTalk you're welcome sweetheart, I really appreciate all the efforts and time you're putting into these great videos to raise awareness and share your deep knowledge ❤️ thank you again.
Would you recommend a mouthwash that contains Lactoferrin? Dental cleanings (scraping) are important to remove plaque, which is composed of a biofilm that essentially protects the cavity causing bacteria. Lactoferrin was originally used in the meat packing business because it is shown to prevent biofilm formation which in turn extends the meats shelf life. Biotin used to contain Lactoferrin but no longer does. When I used Biotin in the past I had no cavity check ups even though I brushed less. I contacted the maker of Biotin about this change but they wouldn’t explain why Lactoferrin specifically was d/cd from their formula.
Hey Whitney! I love your videos and I actually started the dental hygiene program yesterday. I was wondering how you feel about therabreath mouthwash. I’ve been hearing a lot of great reviews on it.
Used to use colgate mouthwash and never felt like it was doing anything but now I only use listerine purple and it feels so much better and I love the burn.
The burn is the alcohol in the mouthwash The alcohol kills the GOOD and bad bacteria in your mouth! Listerine will help your teeth to go bad because of the alcohol.
Listerine total care help to prevent or to cure tonsilitis, i have been using it for more than 10 years. I would say its more effective than taking a medicine, however it can cause dryness of mouth and throat.
I use Scope; I dont see anything on the label however that says antiseptic or flouride which makes me nervous because i like the flavors and don't really want to switch. Hmm, I'll be paying closer attention the next time I'm due for replacing these.
Recap Get Mouthwash with Zero Alcohol Use Antiseptic Mouthwash in the Morning Use Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash at Night (Best for braces and ortho treatment) Mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing or flossing. Wait 30 minutes after using Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash before eating/drinking again.
I’m surprised that you haven’t mentioned Listerine gum therapy in your video. Apparently, it’s four times. Healthier, helps “ reverse “signs of early gum disease, redness, bleeding and inflammation.

I used to use Crest mouthwash, but then I read the label and realized that there was sugar in the ingredients! I used Listerine now.
I always recommend Listerine Total Care since it’s both!
would the fluoride not be canceled out then as stated in the video?
Read the label, if it reccomends to wait 30 mins. And use it in the morning you would just wait to eat/drink
@@RD-hv2hp 30 mins??? So loong
Great videos! I have been a dental hygienist for 10 years and I really appreciate your time in getting the information out there. I thought I would mention, though, Listerine Zero is NOT an antiseptic rinse. We had a Listerine rep visit us in hygiene school who cautioned that it is basically a bad breath rinse and does not have the same therapeutic properties as their antiseptic rinses. If you check the label, it actually says "mouthwash" in the yellow strip where others will say "antiseptic." Great information otherwise. Keep it up!
My Listerine Zero says it’s an antiseptic mouthwash on the bottle..
I used to think the “eye watering, intense burning” was cleaning my mouth and tongue and it wasn’t! The best mouthwash for me is Therabreath or Cloysos. The more alkaline the better!
Super happy i found your channel! I decided i needed to take better care of my oral hygiene 🙈
Yay! I'm so happy you're here! Thank you for watching :)
and TOTAL PROPS for stepping up your oral care game!!! 100%

One among my members of the family is struggling with foul breath. Her mouth can be closed as well as the smell comes through her nose. She did not find any help from popping tic spearmint gum and breath mints. Nonetheless, she was tremendously assisted by this smelly breath treatment BestBadBreathRemedy9.blogspot.com I`m really glad that it neutralized her breath. .
I grew up decades ago - dentists never offered any information about taking care of one's teeth - and years later, I realized they had no idea what they were doing - except pretending u had cavities - and drilling away. There were no dental hygenists at the time. The dentists in NYC/Brooklyn, NY cleaned my teeth - something which they had no training and did a poor job. The dentist I go to now, in southern Calif., has state-of-the-art equipment and a great dental hygenist. Dentistry has come a long way --- and the mouth-washes have greatly improved. I also had no idea they actually help with keeping ur teeth from getting cavities (fluoride) and helping with the gums. I've been using a sonicare electric toothbrush for 25 years - and I highly recommend. Costco sells sets of 2 --- and there are several choices. Read the reviews on their site. Thanks for ur video - such helpful information.
I use blue Listerine it's for me the best.
Great video. Never knew there is a specific fluoride wash. When I brush my teeth in the evening, after my rinse I put a tiny bit of toothpaste on my brush and go around again but don’t spit it out. Toothpastes contains fluorides, so hoping that leaving it on during the night will help.
The antiseptic one I’ve never used. I do not get why this is necessary. I’ve also heard it messes up PH levels in the mouth and kills good mouth bacteria but I may be wrong.
sounds like you're on team teeth! keep up the great work! and here's my video about the antispetics and how many of them are acidic so yep def messes up the microflora of the mouth -- hope you enjoy: th-cam.com/video/5aV1EeM9m-A/w-d-xo.html
this is so helpful. I didn't realize there are two main types of mouthwashes. I usually just buy the brown Listerine one which is an antiseptic. I'll now add this into my routine. thanks.
yay thank you for commenting! so happy to share this info!
Thanks for educating us.
Big help 🙌
Finally, an excellent informative video, Thank You!
thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Your the greatest you've answered some questions about M.W. I very greatful. Thanks
this was so interesting! thank you for this video :) i am hoping to be a dental hygienist in the future so your videos really help me and make me excited to be a dental hygienist!
thank youuuuu for watching! sending so many positive toothy vibes your way :)
Plax for a full minute before I brush. Then floss before I brush. Then wash out my mouth and finish up with a full minute of Listerine Antiseptic Cool Mint for a full minute. I use half as much as they recommend for twice as long. I have had my teeth cleaned twice in the last 10 years and have not lost a single tooth, instead of 3 cleanings and 3 teeth lost a year before. Works for me.
I didnt know this this now. I'm going to try both. I'll try the act one as well.
At every dentist checkup, they ask if I drink coffee because my teeth are stained. I brush twice a day and floss at night. I was thinking about adding a whitening mouth wash to my mornings and ACT restoring after lunch so I can reduce the staining of the 1 cup of coffee I drink per day in the morning. What are your thoughts?
I wish there was a mouthwash with both antiseptic and flouride 🥺
Who else brushes first, then flosses, then uses mouthwash? I personally use ACT but only anticavity. I had no idea there was an antiseptic for gums. Will buy asap
I love this- so informative & to the point !! Xxx
Thank you! Your videos are so fun to watch and very informative. I now know the difference between the mouth washes
Therabreath mild mint is the best mouthwash I’ve tried all other brands and this one works the best. No artificial color, no alcohol and it makes your breath fresh all day literally and no morning breath !
I used to use that then I changed to oxyfresh
@@lovemuffin10101 apologize for the late reply but I had a quick question.
Is it worth to buy Oxyfresh if you already have the TheraBreath mild mint mouthwash ?
My Dentist told me to use Act. I have used it for the longest time and like it.
I use both Listerine and ACT . One for morning, one for night. I just came onto this video for confirmation that thats okay to do 😅😅
Never used one before while it's quite new to me. It certainly sounds refreshing!
I was not aware there were different types. I have a prescription toothpaste for fluoride. And then I use Sonicare mouthwash. I have an electric Sonicare toothbrush. I just found your videos and find them enjoyable
So I have a very gingivitis and plaque prone mouth,and I have an oral routine with everything in it.What mouthwash do you think would be best for me? ( brand,type,etc)
Hello, how often should we clean our tongue in a day? And how many seconds should be spent to clean the entire tongue using toothbrush/tongue scraper
Listerine Total Care Zero is an antiseptic and also has fluoride.
I like the little burn cuz just feels like its working
Same
Whats the best mouthwash to use to take responsibility
I started using listerine blue and my breath started getting worse and worse after using it to the point it was unbearable, I stopped using it all together and it improved vastly.
In a later video, she explains it, but most mouthwashes, especially Listerine, have a bad pH level. Find a mouthwash with a pH level above 6 or 7, and you will be good. And don’t forget that it has to be alcohol-free.
@@TheCrypticEspadahow do u know if the ph level is 6 or above??
@@TheCrypticEspadai use Act anticavity alcohol free mouthwash ..
I have always been a Listerine lover, it makes my teeth so clean and fresh along with my Oclean W10 water flosser.
What's your opinion on therabreath mouthwash? That's what I use since those other mouth washes would make my breath worse because of the alcohol..the color ones too. Now I wonder am I harming my gums with only using therabreath?
Therabreath is definitely the best in my opinion! My favorite for sure. No bad breath at all 👌
Thank you . I never knew that information
I love ACT!! My dentist recommended it to me back in the 2000s and I've used it ever since. The cinnamon is the best!! My kids love the watermelon though haha.
Learned everything I wanted to learn. Thank you!
thank you for watching!
I love the burning sensation, it makes me feel like "DIEEE GERMSSS" even if I'm tearing. It also points out the places where I haven't reached because they're not burning.
THE LISERINE TOTAL CARE IS MY FAVORITE i HAVE BEEN USING SINCE i WAS SMALL LOVE IT ONLY NOW USE THE pURPLE ONE i LIKE THAT BURN..THINK I AM USED TO IT..
Oh thank you for this and the other informative videos, I've just found your channel and subscribed, keep up the good work ❤️ and oh goodness the way you talk with a big smile on your face is so adorable it radiates joy and positivity 💕keep being awesome.. YOU ROCK
thank you so much for watching and commenting this EVER SO KIND message :) truly appreciate you being here!
@@TeethTalk you're welcome sweetheart, I really appreciate all the efforts and time you're putting into these great videos to raise awareness and share your deep knowledge ❤️ thank you again.
Would you recommend a mouthwash that contains Lactoferrin? Dental cleanings (scraping) are important to remove plaque, which is composed of a biofilm that essentially protects the cavity causing bacteria. Lactoferrin was originally used in the meat packing business because it is shown to prevent biofilm formation which in turn extends the meats shelf life. Biotin used to contain Lactoferrin but no longer does. When I used Biotin in the past I had no cavity check ups even though I brushed less. I contacted the maker of Biotin about this change but they wouldn’t explain why Lactoferrin specifically was d/cd from their formula.
Hey Whitney! I love your videos and I actually started the dental hygiene program yesterday. I was wondering how you feel about therabreath mouthwash. I’ve been hearing a lot of great reviews on it.
I use Listerine Total Care in the evening and Crest Gum Care in the morning. Both alcohol free :)
Used to use colgate mouthwash and never felt like it was doing anything but now I only use listerine purple and it feels so much better and I love the burn.
The burn is the alcohol in the mouthwash The alcohol kills the GOOD and bad bacteria in your mouth! Listerine will help your teeth to go bad because of the alcohol.
I use it too but it's so harsh, it pills off my inner lip
@@Mali-fm3rc same, got canker sores soon after using it
Listerine total care help to prevent or to cure tonsilitis, i have been using it for more than 10 years. I would say its more effective than taking a medicine, however it can cause dryness of mouth and throat.
No Dragonbreath X?
Damn, I didn't know there were two types of mouthwash until I started watching your videos. Now I use both antiseptic and Flouride mouthwashes.
I’m shocked 😳 thank you for teaching me something new 😃
so happy you watched! thank you for commenting!
Thank you for the guidance!!! 😭😭💕💕💕
I've heard after brushing that you should wait 5-10mins before doing mouthwash. Mouthwash will be not effective. Is it true?
I use Scope; I dont see anything on the label however that says antiseptic or flouride which makes me nervous because i like the flavors and don't really want to switch. Hmm, I'll be paying closer attention the next time I'm due for replacing these.
I know I’m sad but I love the act because of the dose measurement
D Miele 1224vac squeeeeeeeze
totally I love the built in cup too!!!
Thanks for the tips! I use a flouride rinse at night. Think I'll add an anticeptic to my morning routine now to cover all my bases!
Recap
Get Mouthwash with Zero Alcohol
Use Antiseptic Mouthwash in the Morning
Use Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash at Night
(Best for braces and ortho treatment)
Mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing or flossing.
Wait 30 minutes after using Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash before eating/drinking again.
another great recap :) thank you!
I’m surprised that you haven’t mentioned Listerine gum therapy in your video. Apparently, it’s four times. Healthier, helps “ reverse “signs of early gum disease, redness, bleeding and inflammation.
How do you feel about the crest 3D?
I have Listerine and it’s a special one for gingivitis. It doesn’t say antiseptic or anything on it though…
