Colgate Peroxyl Mouthwash

The 1.5% hydrogen peroxide creates a bubbling action when it comes into contact with oral tissue. This effervescence helps gently flush out oral debris and bacteria from minor wounds, creating a cleaner environment for healing.

No, this formula is alcohol-free, which eliminates the harsh stinging sensation often associated with traditional antiseptic mouthwashes. It is designed to be gentle on sensitive or irritated tissues.

While it is safe for daily use, it is specifically formulated as a targeted treatment for oral irritations like canker sores, gum irritation, and cheek burns. Most users keep it in their medicine cabinet to use as needed when discomfort arises.

The mild mint flavor is subtle and refreshing, designed to be comfortable and non-irritating. It provides a clean feeling without the intense, burning aftertaste found in many standard mouthwashes.

While it will help clean the mouth, its primary purpose is to soothe and cleanse minor oral wounds and irritations. If you are looking for a rinse specifically for daily breath freshening, a standard antiseptic or fluoride mouthwash might be a better fit.
