I use either boots or tescos toothpaste...the normal one I guess :smile: And boots 'smile' mouthwash. They're fine I guess, I dunno how you rate these things... I don't see why using 2 would be bad, though.

I don't see why you'd use two.

Corsdyl mouthwash is really good...it contains chlorhexidene. It's stops bleeding gums. It also heals my mouth ulcers quicker. It's also doctor recommened. (twice a day, for 10 days)

But, if you don't have bleeding gums or mouth ulcers then i suppose and normal mouthwash will do to frenshen ur breath.

and i don't think ur supposed to use mouthwash and toothpaste at the same time, as they affect each other's work.

Yes, I think so. That's what I do anyway :p:

Toothpaste wise I use colgate whitening, or if my mum buys it pearl drops whitening.

Mouthwash, well whatever one my mum buys which is usually a supermarket one. At the minute though we have that one that you have to shake, I dont know what its called :smile:

I guess they are ok Ive never had any problems with my teeth, and I dont have any fillings- although I dont have particually white teeth.

I never use mouthwash.

And I use Aquafresh toothpaste usually, or whatever my parents happen to buy. Never had any problems with my teeth.

I use colgate whitening :biggrin: and just a normal mouthwash.

yeah with the whitening thing is it true that it actually damages your teeth?

At the moment I'm using the new Colgate one with the little 'crystals' in it, and Dentyl clove flavour mouthwash.

Uh, no, I don't. And to be quite honest, the few times I have used mouthwash (mainly when I used to have a brace) I've noticed no difference at all. I don't know many people who bother with mouthwash, I've always been quite surprised at the amount of people on here who use it compared to the amount I know offline.

No mouthwash for me and no smelly breath either. And no fillings or tooth problems.
Well, unless I eat cheese and onion crisps or something smelly like that but I barely ever do. Nothing that can't be fixed by chewing gum.


Edit: How exactly is mouthwash going to help smelly breath anyway? If you use it just after brushing your teeth, well you shouldn't have a smelly mouth if you've brushed your teeth properly. And it's not going to help your throat for more than a few hours, if it makes any difference at all. A decent diet is going to do more than mouthwash ever could.
Fair enough if you get mouth ulcers or use it for other reasons. Or maybe if you have a brace. But it isn't going to do a lot for smelly breath which almost always has some sort of cause.
