Oral-B Mouthwash FAQs

What does Oral-B mouthwash do?

Using a mouthwash daily alongside brushing and flossing can optimise your oral hygiene results. Oral-B offers a range of mouthwashes with unique formulas designed to meet individual needs for example bad breath control and stain removal.

When to use mouthwash?

Experts recommend using mouthwash daily to prevent and reduce harmful oral bacteria. If you’re curious to know whether to use your mouthwash before or after brushing, the answer is to use after brushing your teeth as it helps reach and flush out cavity-causing bacteria from the hard-to-reach spots.

Should I use mouthwash in the morning or night?

Both! It is ideal to use mouthwash after brushing, and it is recommended to brush twice daily. In the morning, mouthwash helps rid the built-up bacteria from throughout the night, and since we eat throughout the day, mouthwash helps rid your mouth of any bits of bacteria before you go to bed.

Is mouthwash bad for you?

On the contrary, mouthwashes are essential in your daily oral care routine along with brushing and flossing. A mouthwash offers the benefit of reaching places that are not easily accessed by toothbrushes, reducing bacteria and dental plaque, and helps prevent gum disease and improves your overall oral health.

How to use a mouthwash?

Including a mouthwash in your daily dental hygiene routine will help improve your overall oral health. You can use it after you've brushed your teeth in the following steps: a. Pour the correct amount of mouthwash in a glass b. Rinse thoroughly for approximately 30-60 seconds c. Ensure that you don't rinse your mouth after you spit the excess mouthwash as the sodium fluoride in the mouthwash will take time to reach deep into the enamel and other places to have a positive impact on oral health

Do all Oral-B mouthwashes contain alcohol?

While some formulations do contain alcohol, others don’t. Our alcohol-free formula delivers all the gum care you need without the unnecessary burn.
