Many types of mouthwash use alcohol (specifically ethanol) as a carrier for their active ingredients. The amounts are small and, as you don’t actually swallow the mouthwash, you don’t need to worry about getting sloshed: there’s a slight rise in the alcohol content of your breath, but this fades away after around ten minutes. However, alcohol can dry your mouth, causing it to release the stinky sulphur compounds that can compound halitosis. Some studies have also suggested that alcohol mouthwashes could increase the chance of developing oral cancers – although this hasn’t been firmly established. For these reasons (or on religious grounds) you may prefer a non-alcoholic mouthwash.

Adults and children should rinse with 10ml (half a capful) for approximately one minute, and then spit out. It is to be used 3 times daily (after meals and at bedtime) or as directed. Children between the ages of 6-12 years old should be supervised by an adult when using Colgate® Peroxyl®. Mouthwashes all have a few things in common. They’re all designed to inhibit the build-up of plaque, and they generally have a strong-tasting, strong-smelling mint flavour that’s designed to freshen up your breath. The key ingredient, as with toothpaste, is fluoride. This protects the teeth from the acid erosion that occurs when plaque bacteria meets sugars in the mouth, by reducing the production of acid. It can also strengthen or repair any lost enamel. Most high-quality mouthwashes will have a fluoride level of 200 to 250ppm (parts per million).
