What are Mouthwash Tablets?

They come in a variety of flavors and contain active ingredients that help to kill bacteria, freshen breath, and clean teeth.

How do Mouthwash Tablets Work?
When you place a mouthwash tablet in your mouth and start to chew, it will dissolve and release its active ingredients. The active ingredients then mix with your saliva to create a solution that can help to freshen your breath and kill bacteria in your mouth.
One of the main benefits of mouthwash tablets is that they can reach areas of your mouth that traditional liquid mouthwash may not be able to reach. For example, mouthwash tablets can get into the crevices between your teeth and gums, where bacteria often hide. This helps to ensure that your entire mouth is clean and fresh.
The Science Behind Mouthwash Tablets
The active ingredients in mouthwash tablets work in different ways to improve your oral hygiene. For example sodium bicarbonate can help to neutralize the acids in your mouth, which can help to prevent cavities and gum disease. Xylitol is a natural sugar substitute that can help to neutralize the acid in your mouth and reduce the risk of cavities.
For a milder rinse drop a tablets into a tumbler of clean tap water (approximately 100ml). Allow the effervescent tablets to fully dissolve, which should take no longer than 3 minutes if at room temperature and then gargle away.
