5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing I ever did for my mouth, October 27, 2003

This review is from: Biotene Mouthwash with Calcium - 16 fl oz (Health and Beauty)

I've been a hardcore user of Listerine for about 4 years (I'm so health concious I was only using the unflavored brown one because the fake sugars and flavors aren't going to make your mouth healthier anyways).

I can say after only 3 days of using Biotene I was sold on the product, it's simply the 2nd best thing I ever did for my mouth (the 1st was buying an all natural toothpaste that wasn't full of excessive mint flavor). Before using the product I would wake up with a nasty taste in my mouth, and it would be much worse if I didn't brush the night before (which I normal do but sometimes I forgot). In fact my mouth is so clean now there have been a couple times when I was in a hurry, and didn't brush or rinse my mouth the night before and the next morning and I didn't even realize I had skipped 2 cleanings, and I'm not exaggerating.

The reason why this mouthwash is so superior is because other mouthwashes simply use alcohol to "kill the germs" but the problem is, you need a solution of approx 75% alcohol to kill all the germs. Unfortunately the alcohol content of mouthwashes are regulated at 25% so leave it to say most of the germs will survive. Now add to that fact that the fake sugars in other mouthwashes actually PROMOTES bacterial growth. Then also add in the fact that alcohol is BAD for your gums. I mean why did you think other mouthwashes burn? That burning is gum tissue damage, alcohol actually promotes gum recession, which is what your trying to prevent (gingivitis).

Biotene contains the same exact enzymes your mouth naturally produces to kill bad bacteria and uses a natural sugar alcohol that doesn't promote bacterial growth. Also there's no heavy mint flavor to cover up the fact you still have bad bacteria in your mouth so you can enjoy that glass of orange juice in the morning without the nasty mint side effect you currently get.
Really think about the products you use, these all chemical mouthwashes and toothpaste you use have heavy mint flavor and fake sugars. I sometimes wonder if people are better off brushing and rinsing with only water as the fake sugars increase bacterial growth, the heavy mint is used to cover up the fact that the baste taste isn't entirely gone (it does came back doesn't it?). With Biotene it often takes days for the classic bad mouth taste to come back.

Do your mouth a favor, give Biotene a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great taste, less filling!, January 17, 2004

This review is from: Biotene Mouthwash with Calcium - 16 fl oz (Health and Beauty)

I've been using the prescription-only Peridex that my dentist prescribed to me for care after a scaling/root-planing procedure. That stuff was nasty. Peridex is one of the worst-tasting oral rinses ever, and it changes the way food tastes. That's one of the side-effects.

Needless to say, I was looking for an alternative to Peridex.

I bought some Biotène at my local Target and tried it a few times, and it's probably the best replacement to the antibacterial Peridex I've tried.

Biotène is fresh, fresh-tasting, cheery, and has no alcohol, so it does not burn my mouth and tongue like Peridex does (which does have alcohol). It also does not taste bitter, nor does it leave a bitter aftertaste in the mouth that affects later food tasting. I'm definitely telling my dentist that I can't take Peridex anymore and that I'm switching to Biotène although it's recommended for dry mouth mostly, something I don't have. I will use it for its antibacterial properties.

5.0 out of 5 stars When I first received the Biotene Mouthwash with ..., March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biotene Mouthwash with Calcium - 16 fl oz (Health and Beauty)

When I first received the Biotene Mouthwash with Calcium, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But it had a different minty flavor, which I enjoyed. It made my mouth feel very refreshed -- like breathing fresh, morning air after a snowfall. The part I best enjoyed, though, had to be the calcium. It seemed to make my teeth whiter and stronger, which made me very happy. I'll definitely be purchasing this product again.
