Mouthwashes
and mouth rinses are meant to be spit out, not swallowed,
because
even natural mouthwash products may contain ingredients
that can be poisonous if ingested in large amounts.

Like all mouthwashes
that effectively fight plaque and
gingivitis, Crest Pro-Health Rinse can contribute to temporary,
surface-level brown
tooth discoloration, which is reported by a small percentage of
individuals.
Tooth discoloration could
actually be one indication, in some people, that the
product is working: after the rinse kills germs in your
mouth, the dead germs can collect on the tooth surface
and create the appearance of a brown stain.
Tooth
discoloration could be exaggerated by many other
factors, such as existing tartar on teeth, consumption
of colored beverages like coffee, tea and/or red wine,
or tobacco use.
Brown tooth discoloration
from use of mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque
and gingivitis is not harmful. It is reversible - and
largely preventable - through options like brushing with
a power toothbrush and tartar-control/whitening
toothpaste, flossing, and visiting the dentist
regularly.

Crest Pro-Health Rinse does
not cause permanent taste
alteration. Oral care products containing active
ingredient CPC may cause a temporary aftertaste, or
temporary change in the taste of food, in a small
percentage of people. CPC stays in the mouth for
long periods of time, which allows the rinse to provide
its 12-hour benefit. Aftertaste/change in the taste
of food typically goes away shortly after product use is
stopped.

Adding a rinse to your oral hygiene routine ensures a
more comprehensive clean, but does the burning sensation
mean the mouthwash is working or is it a symptom of
something else? Most mouthwashes are formulated to kill
bad breath germs and help fight plaque bacteria, but the
burning sensation you feel? That’s alcohol*. Look for a
gentler, yet effective clean with an alcohol-free
mouthwash. You’ll experience less burn and fewer harsh
symptoms that alcohol can cause. Additionally,
mouthwashes infused with an antibacterial agent help
fight plaque below the gum line for a clean that’s
instantly refreshing and effective. *Alcohol is not a
necessary ingredient for an effective mouthwash.
Dependent on your specific oral care needs, there are a
variety of non-alcoholic mouthwash options available:

No. In alcohol-containing mouthwashes, alcohol is not
the active ingredient; it is simply required to
stabilize the formula. At high concentrations, alcohol
has been reported to contribute to dry mouth, which can
worsen bad breath and the growth of more germs.
