Since i've been using this mouth wash i've seen a big difference in my oral health and so has my dentist. I have a high mineral count in my saliva so I get tarter build up quickly, especially around my orthodontic appliances. This has completely changed that. When I go in for my regular cleanings now it takes much less time because I don't have the build up I used to. Daily brushing and flossing is much more effective. I love how this has fluoride and does not contain alcohol. The only drawback is I find that it always burns the tip of my tongue and actually inflames my tastebuds.
