Your Buying Guide to Mouthwashes

Imagine having a conversation with someone who has bad breath.  Are you turned off by the smell?  Do you just want to end the conversation and run away?  How about if you/re the one who has bad breath?  Do you get embarrassed and just wanted the ground to open and swallow you up?  Don't fret as we are going to discuss the different types of mouthwashes, what other buyers are saying, what to look out for and some of the most popular brands in this buying guide.

Types of Mouthwashes

Antiseptic Mouthwash

Perhaps the most common type of mouthwash is antiseptic mouthwash. Typically containing alcohol, antiseptic mouthwash works to halt the growth of bacteria and stave off infection. The most popular brand of antiseptic mouthwash is Listerine.

Fluoride Mouthwash

This is the type of mouthwash that you will typically see used inside the dental offices in Goodyear. Not surprisingly, fluoride mouthwash contains sodium fluoride which helps to strengthen teeth as well as protect against tooth decay. Be wary not to consume fluoride mouthwash in mass quantities as it can be detrimental to your overall health.

Cosmetic Mouthwash

Cosmetic mouthwash or as we like to call it “useless mouthwash” does nothing for the overall health of your teeth, mouth and gums. These are simply used as a way to freshen your breath before a first date or a big job interview. Don’t fool yourself! Just because your mouth tastes minty fresh doesn’t mean you have combated pesky bacteria that can lead to gun disease and tooth decay.

Natural Mouthwash

Natural mouthwash has become quite popular over the past decade as an alternative to the alcohol-based mouthwash products like Listerine. Natural mouthwashes often work in the exact same way as their counterparts but can also treat infection or injury.

What Other Buyers Are Saying

When you buy a mouthwash, be sure to get one that fits your needs.  Read on the reviews that other buyers have on the different mouthwashes so, you would know which one to buy.

Here are some feedback that buyers have on one of the most popular mouthwashes:

Ridiculously overpriced for a product which works exactly the same as another brand.

Bought this because my son has bad breath all the time. once you get use to the unusual dry mouth you get just after using it, it really works and gives you confidence when you are interacting with others.  it's a shame it costs so much

Just what it says on the tin and really is mild so it doesn't burn your mouth when you use it. I would still say it's quite expensive though, even at the cheaper online price.

What to Look Out for

When you buy a mouthwash, be sure to consult with your dentist so, that you would be able to get one that is the right one for you.   Read on the ingredients on the product so, that nothing would be harmful to your health.
