Dentists Are Quietly Telling Patients to Stop Using Mouthwash. Here Are 7 Reasons Why.

Your mouthwash might be the reason your breath turns by lunch. Here’s what people are switching to instead.

  1. 1

    Mouthwash sets off the “rebound effect”

    Antiseptic mouthwash kills 99.9% of bacteria, including the friendly ones that keep bad breath in check. The alcohol dries out your mouth too. Within hours, the sulfur-producing bacteria grow back first, and your breath turns worse than before you rinsed. That’s why you keep reaching for the bottle.

  2. “My patients who rinsed twice a day had the worst breath. We were masking the odor for twenty minutes and feeding the cause.”

    Your gut probiotic never touches your teeth

    If you already take a probiotic capsule, it’s built to survive all the way to your gut. Not a single one of those bacteria touches your teeth, gums or tongue. Gumsprout is a chewable. It dissolves right where 4 billion CFU of good bacteria need to be.

  4. 3

    It puts the right bacteria back in the right places

    Three strains chosen for the mouth, each with a job. L. salivarius LS97 crowds out the odor-causing bacteria on your tongue. L. paracasei LC86 defends the gumline. L. acidophilus LA85 backs up your saliva, your mouth’s natural cleaner.

  5. 4

    It feeds your enamel the mineral it’s made of

    Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is the same mineral your enamel is built from. Every time you chew, it spreads across your teeth and settles into the microscopic rough spots where plaque and stains love to take hold. Most oral probiotics leave it out entirely.

  6. Heads up

    That fuzzy afternoon film stops building up

    You know the feeling: by 3pm, your teeth feel coated. A 325 mg blend of xylitol and guava makes it harder for bacteria to cling to your teeth and build that sticky film. People describe their teeth feeling “just cleaned” all day.

  8. 6

    No burn, no rinse, no timer

    No 30-second swish that makes your eyes water. No alcohol. No sugar. Chew one fresh mint tablet after brushing or after a meal, and you’re done.

  9. 7

    You wake up with a mouth that feels clean

    This is the one people email us about. No morning film. No breath you can taste before you’ve even stood up. Just a clean, fresh mouth when you open your eyes, before you’ve touched a toothbrush or a cup of coffee.

The bottom line: you don’t have to choose between fresh breath and a healthy mouth. Put the good bacteria back, feed your enamel, and let your mouth do what it was built to do.
