Today, it is impossible to imagine complete oral care without rinses. Colgate has developed the latest series of these products, which are highly effective and easy to use. Systematic use of Colgate mouthwash will help eliminate many problems that arise in the oral cavity.
Peculiarities
Colgate skincare products, with the exception of one type, do not contain alcohol. They prevent the development of inflammatory processes in periodontal and dental tissues. These products are intended for both adults and children because they are absolutely safe. Colgate Mouthwash is a supplement that complements basic brushing. If you use it regularly, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing dental diseases, as well as normalize the metabolic processes occurring in the tissues of the oral cavity. It is recommended to use this product as a prophylactic for periodontal and dental inflammation.
Professional opinion
The Colgate Plax series of rinses has won the trust of patients and specialists, and with the start of using any product in the line, oral health noticeably improves and plaque disappears. Teeth become clean and shiny. One of the positive factors is the presence of a pleasant mild taste and aroma, which allows almost all liquids to be prescribed to the youngest patients.
I have been working in pediatric dentistry for many years. Recently I have been recommending Colgate Plax series mouth rinses to my patients for the prevention and treatment of existing problems.
The tool copes excellently with the tasks assigned to it. After use, your breath becomes fresh, the unpleasant odor and plaque disappear, and you can completely forget about the stones. I recommend Colgate mouthwash to everyone, and I use it myself.

It is worth remembering that mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing your teeth with a high-quality brush and toothpaste. Its use makes sense only in combination with other oral hygiene products.
Compound
The company's mouthwashes are represented by Colgate Plax products. They contain a complex of substances that differ in their actions:
- Cetylpyridinium chloride. Able to penetrate deep into soft tissue. It has a strong antibacterial effect against all types of bacteria, viruses and fungi.
- Sodium fluoride. Promotes remineralization of teeth.
- Propylene glycol, which is a preservative.
- Glycerin, which regulates the water balance in the tissues of the oral cavity and covers them with a protective film.
- Sorbitol. Refers to a flavoring additive. Gives the product a sweet taste.
- Preservative sodium benzoate. Suppresses the activity of microbes.
- Polyxomer 407 or polysorbate 20. These are thickeners.
- Potassium sorbate. It reduces the development of pathogenic bacteria.
- Menthol. It gives a minty smell and soothes inflammation in the gums.
- Sodium saccharinate. Acts as a sweetener.
- Flavors and dyes.
6% ethyl alcohol is included in only Colgate Plax Whitening.
Reviews
Reviews of Colgate Plax are mostly positive. Many people note the effectiveness of the products already at the initial stage of use.
Our whole family liked the rinse from Colgate Plax from the Medicinal Herbs series. I would never have thought that it was possible to enhance the effect of toothpaste so much - your breath stays fresh longer and your teeth are clean and smooth. Plaque appears only in the evening, when it’s time to brush your teeth again. The only negative is the pronounced taste; I wish it was softer.

Instructions
The procedure for using Colgate mouthwash is very simple. After the bottle is opened, liquid is poured into the cap. 20 ml is enough for one procedure - this is approximately half a cap. Without diluting anything, you need to intensively rinse your mouth for half a minute, after which you need to spit everything out. Under no circumstances should you swallow the solution! This can lead to disruption of internal organs or poisoning. After the procedure, it is not recommended to eat or drink for 10 minutes, otherwise the desired effect will not be achieved. You should rinse your mouth with mouthwash at least 2 times a day after brushing your teeth with a toothpaste that does not contain fluoride. The longest period of use is 14 days. To prevent children from swallowing the liquid, rinsing should be done under adult supervision.
Recommendations for use
Colgate Plax products are quite easy to use. First you need to open the bottle and pour the solution into the cap. One rinse requires 20 ml of liquid, which means you only need to take half a cap. Then you should thoroughly rinse your mouth with the solution for thirty seconds.
Under no circumstances should you swallow it, as this may cause disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract. It is not recommended to eat or drink within 15 minutes after rinsing to avoid reducing the effect.
Colgate Plax mouthwashes contain fluoride, so please consult your dentist before using them. Children should use the product under parental guidance to prevent ingestion of liquid.
Rinsing should be done in the morning and evening, after brushing your teeth with a fluoride-free toothpaste.
The recommended course of use of a preventive and caring product is two weeks.
