Therabreath Mouthwash

Before you use TheraBreath mouthwash, it is recommended to brush your teeth. For those using fluoride toothpaste, do not use the mouthwash immediately since it can wash away the fluoride in the toothpaste. Wait a few minutes first. After flossing your teeth, pour 1 to 2 capfuls of TheraBreath mouthwash. Empty the cap into your mouth and swish it around for 45 seconds. Do not swallow this mouthwash since it is not meant to be ingested. While rinsing, gargle it and make sure it reaches the back of your throat. This may take a while to get used to. Finally, spit it out. TheraBreath mouthwash is meant to be used 2 to 3 times a day. TheraBreath mouthwash can also be used if you want to get rid of bad breath without brushing your teeth. The truth is, there is no set guideline on when to use TheraBreath mouthwash for bad breath. However, it will not fight gum disease nor strengthen your tooth enamel if you do not use it after brushing and flossing your teeth. Keep in mind that mouthwash should not be a replacement for brushing your teeth or flossing.

TheraBreath Mouthwash uses oxygen to target bad breath-causing bacteria below the surface of your tongue and even the back of your throat. Unlike other mouthwash products in the market, it does not contain artificial flavors or alcohol. Instead, it has a unique ingredient called Oxyd-8, which is a potent formula that is created from sodium chlorite, a chemical used to purify water. Therefore, it creates an oxygen-rich environment that prevents mouth dryness without the presence of alcohol.

There are many types of TheraBreath mouthwash to choose from, and the perfect one depends on personal preference. The Fresh Breath Oral Rinse is a bestseller, but if you want to target certain problems, you should check out the brand's Healthy gums, healthy smile, dry mouth, and anti-cavity variations, among many others. With this mouthwash, you can solve specific oral health concerns with regular use. See which Therabest mouthwash is best for you in the CVS store in your area.

TheraBreath's versatile line of oral rinses features options targeting many of the most common dental concerns you might experience, including: 

• Bad breath 

• Gum disease 

• Staining 

• Enamel wear 

The brand's 24-hour fresh-breath rinse is great for everyday use to help keep your teeth clean and maintain pleasant breath long after brushing. Healthy Gums mouthwash can help prevent gingivitis, and TheraBreath whitening mouthwash helps make it easy to get a brighter smile. 

Alcohol is an effective ingredient for freshening your breath and eliminating bacteria that form plaque and cause tooth decay, but it can also be uncomfortable for some people to use. Most TheraBreath products don't contain alcohol, making them ideal if you're sensitive to that ingredient or prefer alcohol-free mouthwash. Sodium chlorite in these rinses provides a gentler antiseptic effect, working similarly to hydrogen peroxide to help improve oral hygiene without burning. 

Toothpaste and mouthwash often feature fluoride because it helps strengthen your teeth and fight cavities. It does this by absorbing into the outer layer of your teeth, fortifying the enamel to help make it less likely to be harmed by bacteria and acidic foods that leach minerals out. 

TheraBreath Healthy Smile contains fluoride, while many of the brand's other products don't feature it. It's best to check the ingredients and label of the specific product you're considering if you need fluoride-free toothpaste or mouthwash. 

The ideal time to use TheraBreath mouthwash depends on the product and your oral care needs. General-purpose rinses, such as the fresh-breath formula, are okay to use before or after brushing.  

Some products, such as TheraBreath Healthy Gums rinse, include specific instructions to use the mouthwash only after brushing and flossing. You may also see directions to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterward and other valuable tips to help maximize the effects. 

Mouthwash likely works best when paired with daily brushing with fluoride-based toothpaste and regular flossing. If you don't like how dental floss feels, try a water flosser instead. Ask your dentist if you need help determining the best TheraBreath mouthwash for your needs. Your dentist can also help you determine how to fit oral care into your routine and what other products you should use to support your oral health.
