As you can see, this is a kit rather than just a mouthwash. What it means is that in the package, you will get something more besides the bottle of mouthwash. As a matter of fact, you get two tongue scrapers.

There are two different sizes, allowing for people of all ages and with different requirements to use the scrappers easily and without an issue. Keep in mind that both scrappers are gentle and perfectly safe to use. It isn’t possible to cause a mouth injury by using them.

The first layer will lose the bacteria and plaque, and the second will kill them. If we know that bacteria infects the teeth, tongue and mouth in general using chain reaction principle, the first feature of the formula is more than just impressive. All of you who are still wondering how it works, formula eliminates the possibility of new bacteria attaches itself to old deposits.

Within a matter of days, your tongue will change its color and it will start to look pink, as it should. The yellow or brown color of a tongue are actually bacteria and debris deposits!

According to results, it is 10% more efficient than flossing or brushing. Still, the manufacturer recommends combined usage.

ADA-approved is the next main thing about the product. All of you should know that this solely claims and justifies the results and the effects the mouthwash has on your teeth and oral hygiene.

4. Oxyfresh Mouthwash Patented Zinc Formula with Oxygene

While other mouthwash products contain alcohol, this one contains concentrated oxygen and essential oils. Obviously, this comes at a price, but it is definitely worth it. We were impressed with the fact it contains several essential oils, including Aloe Vera, which strengthens the gums and restores the health. Xylitol is an equally important ingredient. It has two effects. The first one is it protects teeth and it prevents plaque deposits. Paired with the Aloe Vera, this mouthwash guarantees you the ultimate teeth protection.

Oxygen is used to fight bacteria on a molecular level. Besides the fact it is effective, it is gentle and allows you to use the mouthwash as often as you need. The same applies to the essential oils we just mentioned.
