How to choose a mouthwash?
Start with what you feel is missing most after brushing. If classic drugstore mouthwashes sting or dry out your mouth, opt for an alcohol-free version — both PrevDent mouthwashes are exceptionally gentle. Do you wear braces, a retainer, or aligners? Reach for OrthoCare — the same mild base, designed to clean difficult areas around brackets and wires. Remember: mouthwash does not replace toothpaste (you will find hydroxyapatite in PrevDent toothpastes). Its role is to maintain freshness and protect the microbiome between brushings.
What do we have in our selection?
One brand, two complementary mouthwashes, and convenient twin packs. PrevDent is a Dutch brand famous for advanced nHAp care.
- PrevDent (300 ml) — alcohol-free and fluoride-free, with a mild spearmint flavor.
- PrevDent OrthoCare (300 ml) — created for people undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Are you choosing a regular care routine? 2 × 300 ml sets are more cost-effective than buying two bottles separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is an alcohol-free mouthwash less effective?
The alcohol in mouthwashes is mainly responsible for the "stinging" sensation, not for the effectiveness of the rinse. Xylitol-based mouthwashes are gentle on the mucous membrane and are suitable for daily, repeated use.
When should I use mouthwash?
After brushing your teeth: 25 ml, rinse for 30 seconds, spit out. At least once a day — if you have braces, it is best to use it after every brushing.
Do PrevDent mouthwashes contain fluoride?
No. Both mouthwashes are fluoride-free and alcohol-free. If you are also looking for a fluoride-free toothpaste, see our fluoride-free toothpastes.
