مجموعة: The Breath Co

Most conventional mouthwashes use alcohol as the active antibacterial — which can dry out the mouth, kill beneficial oral bacteria, and paradoxically worsen bad breath over time. The Breath Co mouthwashes are alcohol-free and use oxygenating technology instead — releasing oxygen molecules that neutralise the anaerobic (oxygen-hating) bacteria responsible for the volatile sulphur compounds causing bad breath. The formulas are dentist-formulated, gentle enough for daily long-term use, and don't cause the dryness or tongue staining of alcohol-based or chlorhexidine mouthwashes.

For best results: rinse for 60 seconds (most users rinse for far less time — 60 seconds is needed for the oxygenating technology to fully work). Use after brushing teeth to maximise contact time with oral bacteria. Don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after rinsing for sustained antibacterial action. Use morning and evening as part of your oral hygiene routine. For chronic bad breath issues, also clean the tongue with a tongue scraper (the majority of bad-breath bacteria live on the back of the tongue), and consult a dentist to rule out dental issues like cavities or gum disease.

Yes — the alcohol-free, gentle formulas are safe for sensitive mouths, dental work (crowns, fillings, implants, veneers), braces, retainers and oral surgery recovery. Many dentists specifically recommend alcohol-free mouthwashes like The Breath Co for patients with dry mouth (xerostomia), recent dental procedures, or sensitive tissues. The formulas don't stain teeth or tongue (unlike chlorhexidine prescription mouthwashes). Safe for daily use for adults and children over 6 years old (always supervise children to avoid swallowing).

Most bad breath (90%+) originates in the mouth — specifically from anaerobic bacteria living on the back of the tongue, between teeth, and in gum pockets. These bacteria produce volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) that smell like rotting eggs. The Breath Co's oxygenating technology disrupts these bacteria by introducing oxygen, which they cannot survive in. For best results, combine mouthwash use with: daily flossing, twice-daily brushing, tongue scraping, staying hydrated, and regular dental cleanings. Chronic bad breath should be investigated by a dentist for underlying causes.

Listerine and many conventional mouthwashes contain alcohol (up to 26%) and strong antibacterials that can over-strip the oral microbiome — killing both bad and good bacteria, leading to dry mouth and potentially worse breath long-term. The Breath Co uses oxygenation as a gentler, more targeted approach. Colgate Total uses triclosan (now removed in many markets due to health concerns) or other antibacterials. For sensitive users, dry-mouth sufferers, or those wanting a gentle daily mouthwash, The Breath Co is a well-regarded clinical alternative.
