Why Use Mouthwash? (And When to Use It)
IT’S NOT A CASE OF ANY OLD SWOOSH BOOSTS THE BOUCHE!
A clinical grade mouthwash is part of your oral health’s armoury
Add a uniquely formulated, clinical grade mouthwash to your oral care routine and it might be less of a case of ‘why use mouthwash’ and more of a case of why not use mouthwash!
Psst! When to use mouthwash might surprise you, too. Life isn’t always what we see in the adverts ...

5 fabulous reasons to use mouthwash
At Healthy Smile Pharmacy, we love to provide wraparound care for your teeth, and, in the case of mouthwash, it really does provide care that wraps around your teeth!
We all know the value of plaque removal: brushing and cleaning those gaps but using a clinical grade mouthwash is like employing an extra protection guardian for your oral health. You can even choose mouthwashes that are tailor made to your needs with our range of mouthwash, from whitening to caring for a brace, aligners or supporting gum health.
We’re also alcohol free!
Mouthwashes containing alcohol dry the mouth, leaving oral tissues more vulnerable.
ONE
Wave Goodbye to Bacteria
Mouthwash gets into those out of sight spots your toothbrush can’t reach helping to keep plaque and cavities at bay beyond the sink.
Surprisingly, that out of sight area is bigger than the size of your palm!
Better get swooshing to take care of that!
TWO
Enjoy Fresh Breath Every Day
A quick swoosh boosts fresh breath confidence so you can get on with life.
No more trying to talk out of the side of your mouth when you run into your crush!
Plus, choose a subscription that includes VITIS Whitening Mouthwash and Toothpaste and you’re on your way to a little more dazzle in your smile. How could anyone resist?
THREE
Tailor Your Care
Some mouthwashes are designed to tackle specific needs, like erosion care or gum sensitivity created by pregnancy and those taking immunosuppressant drugs.
Lifestyle choices, such as smoking or vaping, change the microbiome of the mouth, leaving gums more vulnerable. Move the focus towards Healthy Gums via a subscription kit and you’ll be leaving high street mouthwash and toothpaste behind for clinical grade care.

Gain Peace of Mind
Sometimes mouths need a mouthwash that provides extra special care - we all know the sting of an ulcer. If you’ve ever worn braces or aligners, you might well be familiar with inflammation flare ups. Oooch!
We even have a mouthwash that brings Pain Relieving First Aid for your mouth. What a relief!
(Note to self, don’t take a big mouthful of really, really hot coffee!)

Be brighter, be less sensitive
Mouthwash containing hydroxyapatite helps fill uneven surfaces of tooth enamel, leaving teeth naturally smoother and less prone to sensitivity. No more dodging the iced drinks counter for you!
If you want your natural whiteness to shine through, opting for VITIS Whitening Mouthwash also supports the natural brightness of your teeth.
Tooth enamel may be protected beyond brushing sessions by adding in an enamel protection rinse with hydroxyapatite. Bring on elevenses, lunchtime, mid-afternoon, whenever you want a protective swoosh, and you’ll be helping prevent tooth sensitivity and smooth over those places where streptococcus mutans likes to lurk.
SET YOUR WATCH TO BETWEEN BRUSH O’CLOCK
When Should You Use Mouthwash?
Don’t be behind the times with when you use mouthwash. For most mouthwashes, the key is to mouthwash between brushing. Fluoride protection from toothpaste can last for up to 90 minutes beyond brushing. Fluoride content in mouthwash is lower than in toothpaste so let that do the heavy lifting and use mouthwash later: mid-morning, mid-afternoon, mid evening are good starting points, in the wee small hours if you’re on a night shift.
Use mouthwash to support the return of more mouth friendly PH levels after eating or drinking, particularly if you enjoy drinks that lean towards acidity such as some herbal teas, fruit juices and kombucha.
But ...
It’s always worth speaking to your clinician about the best time to use a particular mouthwash. Some formulations used to treat particular conditions may need to be used after brushing.
At Healthy Smile Pharmacy, we’re conscientious so all our products state clearly the optimum time to rinse.
Keep rinsing!
