    I'll start so!

    I bought some yesterday and it seems very good. But boy is it expensive.

    Mouthwash even expensive stuff cannot get between the teeth where the bacteria live happily. The only way to get to these bacteria (the cause of bad breth assuming you dont have a stomach condition) is good mechanical cleaning of the teeth and flossing between them.

    Reminds me of fabreeze this stuff.

    Hi, I think its good, not sure it lasts for the full 12 hours but obvious fresher breath for longer noticed, other factors would make a difference too though such as general oral hygiene, dehydration, mouth and gum problems, I'm not a dentist but think this product is worth a try, I will buy probably on a continuous basis, only 10ml required per use..

    I find it gives a much fresher, cleaner feeling in my mouth than other mouthwashes - not sure how effective it is in killing bacteria in between teeth but it feel thorough.

    It is very expensive tho - I guess if you have a problem with halitosis then fair enough but otherwise I'd just go for a regular mouthwash.

    On the topic of mouthwash - anyone have an opinion on....

    Kin -v- Corsodyl -v- Oraldene

    Do they all do the same job???

    Rarely recommend mouthwash for daily use, as people tend to use it instead of flossing:( (far cheaper& more effective, but more labour-intensive)
    All mouthwash does is mask an underlying problem- gum disease, decay, or tonsil stones tend to be the most common issues, and all are easily treated...just not with mouthwash!

    BTW I have a reoccurring infection at the moment and I'm waiting to get my wisdom teeth out. I don't normally use the above but have to at the moment....just wondering if they are each as effective as the other???

    Thanks for the reply
    Thought it might be something that you could get done at a regular dental app.

    independent scientific research has proven they do work and that cb12 is the best of the lot:

    One author, non peer review journal (that journal has a lot of adds form the mouthwash companies), low non randomised numbers or people working in a dental clinic and measuring the molecules that carry bad breath rather than the cause of the bad breath molecules. Look perfume covers up smells for sure, and mouthwash does have a measurable effect on dental plaque and bacteria. However the effect even of chlorohexidine mouthwashes is so insignificant in comparison to mechanical brushing, and flossing.

    People come in to me all the time and ask what the best mouthwash. Thay are looking for a quick fix. I say that you need to spend your time on mechanical cleaning, if that is effective then mouthwash is not necessary. If your not cleaning properly then it's just like spraying on deodorant without washing first.
