Anyone have any thoughts, observations and recommendations related to mouth washes and toothpastes?
I've mainly been using Listerine but wondering if I should switch to an Alcohol free MouthWash
I've recently tried Corsodyl which tastes really foul but I think it's pretty good.
I also saw SuperDrug currently have a 2 for 1 offer on their range which includes an alcohol free one for sensitive teeth which tastes much nicer. It also has more then double the fluoride of the Listerine I was using.
As for toothpaste just trying the night time version of this

Any particular reason for switching to alcohol free?
I think it will stain more of you drink tea or coffee right away or if used long term for months on end.
As for the Alcohol I think it's mainly in there to give the mouthwash a longer shelf life, improve taste and cleaning action - but some people can find it dries out their mouths too.
Just tried Corsodyl Daily Defence - a mint version with about a quarter of the active ingredient of the regular version - also tastes foul!!!
Weird thing is boots have their own brand version which is even more expensive!!
Anyway I have to say even though regular Corsodyl tastes horrid and stains your teeth brown if you've not brushed really well beforehand - it really works wonders for dry mouth problems
Shame there's no one decent mouthwash product does does everything without the drawbacks.
:yes:
Was gonna post an almost identical reply to this one, you beat me to it!
