Product Summary
Colgate FluoriGard Daily Rinse is the mouthwash that I recommend most to patients with braces in my clinic.
Using this mouthwash, I had fewer worries about sugar-induced cavities and demineralisation. The fluoride level is adequate to do its job in shielding teeth from sugar and acid attacks.
Finding a mouthwash that doesn’t set your mouth on fire when you’re trying to freshen up can be tough. That’s where this mouthwash stands out — the peppermint flavour packs a punch without the sting, which is exactly what you need.
Its comfortable to use. The alcohol-free formula doesn’t aggravate the mouth whilst swishing around those delicate teeth (and trust me I know how delicate your teeth can be, especially when you’ve just had your braces tightened)
While the big bottle ensures you won’t run out any time soon, it does make you think twice before tossing it into your overnight bag. However, the peace of mind I get from using it is worth the trade-off.
