Closys Healthy Gums Mouthwash, Antiplaque and Anti-gingivitis for Gum Health, Non-Burning, Non-Irritating – 32 Fl Oz

I was recommended this by my dental hygienist. They said it’s great for people who have sensitive gums. It doesn’t have a strong taste and doesn’t burn. I used to think it had to burn to know it was working. Haha. Leaves my gums and teeth feeling clean and has a mild aftertaste. Not super strong like most otc name brands do. They sell it in my dentist office but it’s way cheaper on here. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to otc store brands now.

This is the only affordable mouthwash I can find that does not contain sorbital (has a laxative effect, found in toothpastes, food...)If you are experiencing IBS symptoms, start checking labels. It just might be your dental hygiene???The taste is minimal, no over powering mouth burn, does the job

Mild flavor, but does the job good reviews from my dentist?

Not bad, does not burn and is not excessively sweet. Definitely has that 'medicine' flavor but it's pretty mild. Slightly yellowish color probably due to the sodium benzoate, which is a bit odd considering that there shouldn't be enough to do that.Contains sucralose as a sweetener. I wish mouthwash companies would stop putting ANY sweetener in mouthwash. Why do they think everything has to be sweet? It's not food, it's MOUTHWASH. At least it does not have saccharine.I'll keep using it, but still searching for something without sweetener.

This is the only mouthwash that I think is actually medically done anything to my mouth. Medically as in healed my gums just like grandma said you only get one set of teeth take care of them.

I have been using this for years and will continue to do so. It is pleasant and leaves my mouth feeling better when the old lady teeth come out.No burning!

I ordered this because my hygienist recommended the brand and although she didn't say to get the healthy gum version specifically, she gave a sample of a different version, but she did say I'm in the beginning stages of developing gingivitis so I thought the same brand but the one for gum health would be the best. I decided to read the back of the bottle the first time I used it and noticed a warning about it staining teeth. I started researching why and found out the active ingredient Cetylpyridinium Chloride (aka CPC) can stain teeth. Apparently it cleans the plaque off and can improve gum health but leaves stains behind on both your teeth and tongue...so I guess your teeth won't actually rot or fall out but they'll turn brown instead? Wow. I read that staining only affects about 3% of people and I thought that I will just be diligent about brushing so stains can't develop, but I'm only a few days into using it and now noticed that my breath is grosser than ever too. Today I decided to just swish the mouthwash and spit, wait about 2-3 hours to let it help out my gums (I read that gums improve in 3-5 hours of exposure to CPC but didn't want to let it turn into stains either) before I brush it away so it doesn't leave stains. Well when I opened my mouth to start brushing I had a white stringy film on the back of my tongue and in my cheek. Soo it's causing oral thrushing as well. So then while I Googled the thrushing issue I found people complaining about losing their sense of taste, and I'm now realizing my sense of taste is off too and my tongue in kind of tinglingly as though it's starting to go numb, all coupled with this bad breath....other people said they lost their taste overnight after rinsing with it and it took a few days to come back. I have a feeling I won't be tasting anything but this nasty bad breath tomorrow. No way in hell am I going to use it long enough to test out whether or not I'm in the "3%" that gets stains from it too, I have a feeling the real number is higher than 3%. I also read that in supposedly "rare" cases it actually INCREASES TARTAR and the ingredient isn't even recommended by the ADA. This honestly seems like the worst thing you can put in your freaking mouth and as if some dental industry big wig bozo decided to push this ingredient as a sick joke. I also noticed that the cap had some brown gunk developing around it today that wasn't there when I first opened it. I'm guessing that gunk is due to the same staining affect it has on teeth. I can't believe they put this stuff in mouthwash. Apparently even ACT has this ingredient but it isn't listed as one the active ingredients so I'm guessing it's a much lower concentration of it? I'm going to just keep using ACT instead and because I think there would be more info circulating the internet if it stained teeth and caused oral thrush and loss of taste and so on the way this criminally overpriced trash water does. Probably will look for another fluoride/alcohol free mouth wash that doesn't have it in the ingredients whatsoever after I finish my bottle of ACT. Right now just hoping my sense of taste improves by tomorrow because I just made a huge pot of the most delicious soup and have lots of leftovers and I want to enjoy it.

Work!
