Q: Will it help dry mouth?

submitted by Rtse - 2 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question, Rtse. This rinse is a first aid to help reduce bacteria in minor oral wounds, for temporary pain relief and use in cleansing minor wounds or minor gum inflammation resulting from minor dental procedures, accidental injury, orthodontic appliances, canker sores, dentures, and other irritations of the mouth and gums. It also aids in the removal of phlegm, mucus, other secretions associated with occasional sore mouth. This rinse can be used to help cleanse minor wounds or minor gum inflammation in order to expose surrounding healthy tissue and not delay wound healing. It can also be used to provide temporary pain relief that can accompany mouth sores and other associated issues. However, we cannot recommend its use as a preventative.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mouthwash was gentle and not super strong tasting. I do think my sore healed faster than normal which was great. Obviously it’s not a product I will use all the time but it’s nice to have to help heal sores when I have them.

    When I first used this, it provided relief to my tooth aches and my wound (bit my cheek) for about 30 min. I used it again after dinner and swished it around my mouth for about 8-10 minutes and my mouth isn’t hurting as much as it was anymore. There’s a bit of pain but super mild. 5/5 stars for me.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I frequently have some minor gum irritation that other rinses seem to aggravate. The Orajel alcohol-free antiseptic rinse makes my mouth feel clean and it doesn’t have the burning sensation that other rinses have. I highly recommend trying this antiseptic rinse as part of your daily oral hygiene regimen.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mouth wash works great to clean my mouth and help my canker sores go away quicker. Canker sores are really painful, and this mouth wash helps heal them faster so I have less pain. I like that this mouth wash doesn't contain any ingredients to irritate my canker sores either. The bottle works great and doesn't leak. I would definitely buy this product again.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really great flavor, nice easy mint to tolerate without the burn of an alcohol based mouthwash. As someone who frequently suffers from irritated gums, it definitely seemed to help reduce the inflammation without the painful burn. Didn't bother my sensitive teeth at all either and no bad aftertaste that lingers. I would definitely continue using this product and recommend to others.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get canker sores a lot. Likely from stress but that’s beside the point. This product works incredibly well for removing some of the pain of the sore. It tastes like mouth wash (obviously) and foams up to coat the sore. It’s definitely a great product!

    Every once in a while my gums get really irritated and I’ll start chewing on the inside of my lip (which leaves giant painful canker sores). I came across this mouthwash and purchased it based off reviews. I’ve only used it once and cannot believe how amazing this stuff is! The pain and irritation is already gone and my canker sore is half the size. My home will never be without this mouthwash now. One thousand percent recommend!!

I used this mouth wash for a week solid. It’s gone! It has a great taste very minty. And great size! Love this product and will get it again! Highly recommend even for daily maintenance

    Heals mouth sores, but can make gums sensitive

    4 out of 5 stars
    juliaremy85_4454 - 2 months ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a frequent user of mouthwash (I use it twice a day), I was curious about the effectiveness of this one! I commonly bite my cheeks when eating, so the mouth sore aspect intrigued me. The hydrogen peroxide definitely helped my mouth sores heal more quickly than my usual mouthwash, and it's satisfying to see the foaming action still working after spitting out the rinse! The flavor is not bad. It's refreshing, but does have a bit of the peroxide aftertaste (but this is unavoidable when using a mouthwash with this ingredient). The one caveat I noticed: After using this rinse for 2 weeks, I noticed that my gums were very sensitive. I believe this was due to the alcohol in this particular rinse. My usual mouthwash dies not contain alcohol, so I could be more sentitive to it than other folks!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this in the morning while I shave, I just pop it in my mouth and then shave and then spit it out once I’m done shaving. I feel like it helps with that deep ugly morning breath. I haven’t noticed any difference in sensitivity. I think it’s a good product, fortunately I don’t have mouth sores to know if it’s effective on those.

I get canker sores a lot based on stress levels and this stuff has significantly reduced the time they stick around and helps relieve the pain. It hurts a little bit to use but it’s wayyy better than normal mouthwash.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was sent to me by Influenster. I regularly get canker sores in my mouth, so I was glad to get this product. It is gentle and makes my mouth feel very clean. It foams easily. I feel like it was a bit hard to spit everything out. It kept foaming and I had to spit several times. Still, it is a good product and I would consider buying it on my own. It’s a great gentle mouth wash for people who are prone to mouth sores.
