An alcohol-free fluoride mouthwash designed for everyday use, unlike Corsodyl's chlorhexidine medicine. The NHS advises using mouthwash at a different time from brushing so you don't rinse away toothpaste fluoride.

Can be useful for

A product can support daily care but can’t treat a dental problem on its own. See a dentist if symptoms persist.

Choosing mouthwash

  • Choose a fluoride mouthwash if your goal is decay prevention.
  • Use mouthwash at a different time from brushing.
  • Treat chlorhexidine rinses as short-term medicines and read the leaflet.
  • Check age limits on the label – some are not suitable for young children.
  • Mouthwash does not replace brushing or cleaning between teeth; see a dentist about persistent bad breath or bleeding gums.
