Last time on the blog we talked about how mouthwash can be a great addition to your daily dental routine. A product that we definitely recommend is the OraCare Health Rinse. You may have tried it at your last appointment before starting your cleaning, given to you in a small cup by our lovely Live & Smile staff. 

 What is OraCare you may ask? OraCare is an activated oral cleanser. Activated chlorine dioxide, the secret behind their award winning health rinse, is a formula that OraCare created to help care for the whole mouth. When the two solutions are mixed together, the chlorine dioxide is activated. Since true chlorine dioxide is a gas, the two solutions must stay separated until ready to use, which is why each box comes with two bottles. When utilizing the rinse you must place equal parts (4 pumps from each bottle) into the cup. Allow the rinse to activate for 30 seconds, then rinse for 30-60 seconds. 

​​What’s really wonderful about OraCare is that there is no staining, no additional calculus/tartar buildup, and no altered taste. OraCare helps fight off and kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi, neutralizes bad breath, reduces bleeding/inflammation, and promotes great tissue health.

OraCare is exclusively sold in dental practices, but you are in luck because Live & Smile Dental has them just for you! The next time you are in the office, come and ask about OraCare and how you can add it to your dental routine at home. Our team would love to help you be more confident with your smile.
