Lemon Mint Mouthwash

I have been using this for several years. My dentist told me a mouthwash without alcohol would help prevent dry mouth. Dry mouth causes all sorts of issues with gums and teeth, especially as we age. I like the flavor of this brand and find it is effective.

Ive been using this mouthwash for over 10 years. Was recommended by a dentist when i haf sensitive teeth. This is by far the best mouthwash I've ever tried. Freshens breath, fights cavities, and has kept my teeth white and shiny all these years! No burn and one little capful goes a long way.This is my #1 recommended mouthwash.

UPDATE: After over a year's use, I can confirm that used 2 capfuls per day, the bottle lasts about 6 or 7 weeks (below, I estimated 12 weeks at 1 capfuls per day, which is essentially the same thing)> Not harsh. Very mild. Hard to believe that it is serious mouthwash -- but it is.> Kinda taste like lemony soda-pop with artificial sweetener -- which mostly masks a very slight chlorine flavor (like swimming pool water).> Not actually expensive as some reviewers complain, since a cupful (the recommended "dosage"), is a very small amount --- probably about 1/4 or less of the amount recommended of other mouthwashes. I was going through a big bottle of Listermint every two weeks. I'm just finishing up my first bottle of Oxyfresh after 3 months (i.e., about 12 wks). By my calculations, Oxyfresh is actually significantly cheaper than Listermint -- IF you only use just a capful of Oxyfresh at a time.> Oxyfresh is said to be better for your teeth and gums than standard mouthwashes, and more effective in combating plaque and gingivitis. It contains no alcohol, and therefore does not dry your gums. Studies have shown the ingredients to be more powerful than chlorohexadine (the standard mouthwash prescribed by dentists, periodontists, endodontists, etc. after oral surgery). Caveat, that's overlooking the difference in concentration of a prescription medication (chlorohexadine) versus an over-the-counter mouthwash (Oxyfresh). Nevertheless, Oxyfresh is still recommended for post-surgery use, because it is milder on gum tissue than other OTC mouthwashes which contain alcohol and/or other astringents, which might cause pain, bleeding, or interfere with healing.> Tastes so mild and pleasant (albeit less than "good" tasting), that it can be easy to forget and swallow it. DON'T. I swallowed once and got a bad stomach ache --- this is serious mouthwash. Follow the instructions and spit it out. You won't forget twice, trust me. I'd be especially careful allowing children (who tend to swallow anything) to use Oxyfresh.> Some folks dilute Oxyfresh to use in water-flossers. Sounds like a good idea -- you can get the oxyfresh deeper between your teeth and gums. Whether it is Oxyfresh or not, you need to use a little antiseptic mouthwash in your water flosser to prevent growth of bacteria (black gunk) in the machine. My routine is to use 1 capful of Oxyfresh in the water flosser, and (after water-flossing) then to swish a capful in my mouth. The recommendation on the bottle is "at least a minute"; my periodontist says "at least 2 minutes".> CAUTION -- Oxyfresh alters your taste perception for about an hour, not in a good way. After breakfast (if you are concerned about bad breath) and just before bed (if you are concerned about your teeth and gum health) are the best times to use Oxyfresh. For a dinner date, use the Oxyfresh more than an hour before you expect to dine.> In any case, it is very nice to wake up to a sweet lemony taste in your mouth in the morning (if used before bed, and if you don't rinse, as recommended).FLUORIDE> Oxyfresh does NOT contain fluoride. Particularly if your (non-municipal, or/and osmosis filtered) water supply does not contain fluoride, then you may need some additional fluoride for your teeth. In that case, I recommend using a high-fluoride toothpaste.DRY MOUTH> Recently, I began tucking a Spry mint beneath my teeth and lip to help keep my mouth moist at night (I have a CPAP, and breath through my mouth at night). The main active ingredient in Spry mints (which are specifically sold for reducing dry mouth) is xylitol.> Then I remembered that xylitol is also a significant ingredient of Oxyfresh mouthwash. In retrospect, I remember noticing that I woke up with a less horribly dry mouth after starting the Oxyfresh. Apparently Oxyfresh promotes moist mouth -- by first, not drying out your mouth with alcohol or other astringent, and secondly by the xylitol promoting the flow of saliva. So, if you have dry mouth, particularly at night, Oxyfresh will help. If you need more help, I recommend Spry Xylitol Mints.

The best mouthwash! Nice fresh and minty. Just love it.

Seems to be somewhat effective but I noticed the fresh taste in my mouth only last for a few minutes. Perhaps that’s the way it supposed to work.

Fantastic product. I first tried this product at my dentist office and I liked the flavor and the softness of the mouth wash. I bought my first bottle from my dentist that day because I had my wisdom teeth removed a couple weeks prior and wanted to begin using mouth wash again but was afraid of the minty/alcohol ones from the store. The nurse mentioned that the wash helps gums and keeps your breath fresh all day with just one cap full of oxyfresh. I did not eat 30 minutes after the wash and when I did eat my mouth still tasted and felt clean and my breath did not smell like the food I had just ate! When I got home I made my husband try it out and he was hooked!!! My mother was skeptical but willing to try it and the next morning she wanted her own bottle.The bottle is 16 oz and it contains zinc which made me nauseous once because I skipped breakfast.The flavor is a lemon mint and its really smooth and soft when you are swishing it in your mouth.It is safe to use if you have holes in your mouth. I was afraid to get dry socket from my wisdom teeth so I waited almost 2 weeks before using anyform of mouthwash. My husband had an extraction and the next day he was able to use oxyfresh because it does not have alcohol.My mouth smells and feels fresh all day!!Its made in America!I really like this product and you will not be disappointed.

Taste great

Best mouthwash you’ll ever use. Gives you the freshest breath!! 😎🛼
