Mouthwashes - how they work

In the dental context, there is often talk of comprehensive and complete dental care. But what does that actually mean? In addition to toothpaste and dental floss, mouthwash is also included, which is supposed to complement the complete care. Especially in the area of teeth whitening, many mouthwashes have recently hit the market, all of which promise whiter teeth and a well-groomed and clean mouthfeel.

Mouthwashes with fluoride

Mouthwashes with the remineralizing ingredient fluoride are particularly effective in areas that the toothbrush cannot reach. These are especially the spaces between the teeth and the back teeth, which are often missed when brushing. Certain herbal extracts, such as sage extract or mint extracts, not only provide fresh breath but also leave a clean feeling in the mouth.

At OnlySmile, we stand for healthy, strong, and white teeth. That's why we recommend using mouthwashes to optimally complement the simple dental care with toothbrush and dental floss. However, when purchasing mouthwashes, make sure that it explicitly states on the packaging that it does not attack the tooth enamel. The tooth enamel is like the top protective layer of your teeth. Certain mouthwashes contain substances that can disrupt the oral flora and attack the tooth enamel. Increased sensitivity and pain can be unpleasant consequences.

The complete care program mentioned earlier ensures strong and healthy teeth. However, even strong and healthy teeth can be yellowish to grayish in color. How can you get your teeth as white as those on advertising posters or in TV commercials? The simplest and most straightforward solution for this is called OnlySmile. We specialize in the production of high-quality and certified teeth whitening products developed by our experts in Germany. For example, an application of the OnlySmile teeth whitening kit takes only 30 minutes and delivers visible results after the first application, depending on your original tooth color. Simple, fast, and effective – that is OnlySmile.
