Aquafresh Extra Fresh Daily Mouthwash Fresh Mint
by upsy
I had a lot of problems with my teeth when I was younger, and so I now like to ensure that I look after my teeth as best as I can. It was on a trip to the dentist a few years ago that he advised me that any mouthwash that contains fluoride will help to protect my teeth, and so I decided that, as I always use Aquafresh toothpaste, I may ... as well go the whole hog and buy the mouthwash to match, seeing as it contains fluoride. I have used Aquafresh mouthwash twice a day after brushing my teeth ever since, and I have found it fairly easy to find this mouthwash at a decent price at various shops whenever I am running low.
I always purchase the blue coloured mouthwash, named as 'Fresh Mint', and so I'm afraid I'm unable to comment on what the green coloured one is like, however, if the toothpaste is anything to go by, I would imagine that the green one is a milder version. The packaging is always sealed over the cap, with a perforated edge, which provides reassurance that no-one else has had access to the mouthwash. The only slight issue with this is that it can sometimes be hard to get into the product. After much frustration at struggling to rip the perforated area, I have now got the knack of opening it quickly by putting my hand around the cap and unscrewing it, which rips the packaging at the same time, so that I can then simply pull the ripped packaging off the lid. Once the packaging has been removed, it is then easy to open and seal the mouthwash, as the lid is easily unscrewed and then screwed back on.
The mouthwash should be used twice daily. The instructions state that you should use 10ml of it and rinse your mouth with it for 1 minute and then spit it out. It is such a quick thing to do after brushing your teeth twice every day, that it I believe it is certainly worth doing if you want to really care for your teeth.
This mouthwash is alcohol free, and it claims to freshen breath, help to prevent plaque build up and strengthen your tooth enamel. Unfortunately, I'm no scientist and so cannot really comment on how successful it is at preventing plaque build up and protecting my teeth, however, I can say that my dentist always tells me that I have very good teeth for someone of my age (mid twenties), and so I guess this demonstrates that the mouthwash must be doing some good. I do believe that it also fulfils it's claim of freshening breath, as my breath smells very strongly of mint after using it, and this makes my mouth feel extra fresh and clean after cleaning my teeth.
I would certainly recommend this mouthwash for extra protection for your teeth.

Aquafresh Fresh and Minty Toothpaste
by HelenDK
Cleaning your teeth and good dental hygiene is essential to prevent dental plaque and tartar from teeth from cavities, gingivitis and gum disease. It is believed that severe gum disease causes 1/3rd of all adult tooth loss. Having recurrent dreams of losing teeth throughout all my pregnancies and working shifts thus seeing a few too many ... episodes of the front toothless guests on Jeremy Kyle Show, I am a very keen teeth cleaner!
I do try different brands of toothpaste but aquafresh is my preferred. I tend to purchase from Home bargains for £1 but is widely available. You can buy in a fancy dispenser but these never seem to work particlarily well.
Aquafresh is as old as me, becoming available in 1973 (a very good year).
Created by Beecham but produced now by Glaxo Smith Kline, was originally double action before in 1983 becoming a triple action formula and as a child I grew up with the adverts showing the red, white and aqua stripes (the boy in the stripey PJ's if memory serves me right).
It goes with the logo of Triple protection for all the family. The white is the fluoride for cavity protection, the aqua for fresh breath and the final layer added was red for the gums.
Aquafresh do a variety of toothpastes, as well as this triple protection; such as white and shine, extreme clean, bubblemint, sensitive, isoactive, training, and ultimate.
Aquafresh is a fresh minty toothpaste, which even post night shift when my mouth feels like someone died in it, is soon feeling fresh again, therefore Im going to give it a 5/5.
