Teeth Whitening Mouthwash

The best mouthwash for teeth whitening depends on your exact oral care needs. For those who want added protection from cavity-causing bacteria, fluoride toothpaste is the ideal option. If you are currently going or recently went through an intensive whitening procedure (such as LED whitening or professional teeth bleaching), you'll want to use a specially-formulated whitening mouthwash to retain the benefits of your whitening treatment. And if you suffer from sensitive teeth, you might want to look for a teeth sensitivity mouthwash that contains potassium citrate or nitrate.

NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash gives you the best of both worlds, combining the whitening power of activated charcoal, the remineralizing capability of xylitol, the oral protection of fluoride, and the freshening benefits of peppermint oil—all without using harsh alcohols and bleaching agents.

All products, including mouthwash, come with an expiration date. If you keep mouthwash for too long, it will stop being effective entirely. Using expired mouthwash might not necessarily damage your teeth, but it won't serve them any benefit, either.

Mouthwash can be used for up to three years (at most) from its manufacturing date. To ensure you maximize the results of NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash, always double-check the expiry date on the bottle. If it is past the date, throw it out and purchase a new bottle.

Typically, the results of using teeth whitening mouthwash are temporary and can only address surface stains for about 24 hours. They are only meant to act as a maintenance solution to prevent future staining.

For more impactful whitening results and a complete experience, we recommend purchasing our complete teeth whitening kit, using our mouthwash in conjunction with NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Toothpaste, or filling in the gaps with whitening pens.

Teeth whitening mouthwash does not damage your enamel when used as directed. When used too often, however, it can lead to enamel erosion and intensified tooth sensitivity.

To prevent this from happening, make sure you follow the instructions provided on the bottle of your mouthwash and only use as directed for a limited amount of time.

Do not use too many whitening products at once, either. For example, if you're already using a teeth whitening kit with an intense bleaching agent, don't follow it up with whitening strips, toothpaste, and mouthwash at the same time.

Kids can use NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash conditionally. If your child is under 6 years of age, you should always consult a dentist before introducing any whitening products. If your child is between 6 and 11, they can use the product, but should only rinse using 10 mL of whitening mouthwash for 30 seconds, rather than one minute.

Regardless of their age, children should always be supervised when using mouthwash to minimize the risk of swallowing and misuse.

Teeth whitening mouthwash can cause dry mouth in two instances: when it is overused and when it contains alcohol.

When you use too much teeth whitening mouthwash or when it contains alcohol, it can make your mouth feel dry. Alcohol stops your body from producing enough saliva. Saliva helps keep our mouths moist, so without enough saliva, our mouths can get dry and sticky.

Overuse can cause the same problem. If you use too much teeth whitening mouthwash, it can cause your mouth to become dry and uncomfortable.

In both cases, the best solution is to carefully watch the amount of whitening mouthwash you’re using and only choose an alcohol-free product.

Unlike brushing your teeth (which should always be done before whitening), mouthwash can typically be used before or after your whitening session.

Using mouthwash after a teeth whitening procedure can prevent staining by rinsing away any leftover substances that could cause staining. Using it before a whitening procedure can help to reduce bacterial levels in the mouth, preventing potential irritation from bleaching agents.

Teeth whitening mouthwash is not bad for your teeth, per se. The ADA and many other reputable organizations consider whitening products—including mouthwash—and their ingredients to be safe and effective.

That said, overuse of whitening products, however, can lead to enamel erosion and heightened tooth sensitivity. To circumvent potential risks of using teeth whitening mouthwash, it's important to only use as directed and for a limited amount of time.
For the millions of people who suffer from tooth sensitivity, any level of teeth whitening might cause irritation. Unfortunately, there are only ways to minimize this effect, not eradicate it completely.

Teeth whitening mouthwash is readily available just about anywhere you can purchase other whitening products (e.g., whitening strips, toothpaste, and kits).

NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash is available for immediate purchase online (at the top of this page) and through select online and brick-and-mortar retailers.

While experts agree that whitening mouthwash is effective, it has its limitations. Conclusive research and professional insights indicate whitening mouthwash works well for "extrinsic or outer tooth" discoloration caused by things like coffee, red wine, and smoking.

Unfortunately, it can't do much for intrinsic or inner tooth discoloration caused by factors like medications or excessive fluoride intake during childhood. It also can't erase years of deep stains from smoking, long-term neglect of oral hygiene, or poor dietary habits.

Teeth whitening mouthwash is effective for retaining the benefits of recent whitening treatments, accelerating the process for those currently whitening, and for removing surface stains that have just started to appear. It is also ideal for those looking for a quick way to freshen their breath before a job interview, date, or night out with friends.

The most common side effect of any teeth whitening product is tooth sensitivity. While teeth whitening mouthwash is naturally gentler than other products such as strips or bleaching trays, it can still cause some sensitivity.

To reduce the chances of experiencing any kind of sensitivity, start by using whitening mouthwash for a shorter duration or less frequently than recommended on the bottle.

If sensitivity persists, you may want to look into the underlying cause of your issue, as sensitivity can be a sign of poor oral hygiene or other dental issues.

You can use NatruSmile whitening mouthwash every day, up to two times each day. In fact, using it this frequently is the best way to ensure complete and consistent whitening results.

If you’re already using a bleaching product or other whitening treatments from NatruSmile, we recommend using our mouthwash no more than once per day as part of your oral hygiene routine (at least to start). That way, you can adjust your routine as needed and find the right balance to achieve whiter teeth without causing sensitivity.

Teeth whitening mouthwash can cost anywhere from $5 to $30, depending on the product and its ingredients. Generally, products that contain higher-grade ingredients cost more than those with cheaper alternatives.

NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash is right in the middle—priced at $17.99. NatruSmile customers save 12.5% when they purchase a 90-day supply (three bottles) and 25% when they purchase a 180-day supply (six bottles). Now that's a deal you won't find in stores!

The results from our teeth whitening mouthwash are short-term and immediate. Enjoy the benefits of a whiter, brighter smile as soon as you spit out the mouthwash.

NatruSmile Teeth Whitening Mouthwash is designed to reduce and prevent staining, so the longer you use it, the more gradual and noticeable your whitening results will be. After using our whitening mouthwash for a few weeks, the difference in your smile will be much more noticeable.
