Colgate Plax Gentle Care Mouthwash

Mouthwash is a great complement to any oral care routine, and Australian Dentists and Hygienists recommend using mouthwash to help protect gums and prevent cavities. Now Colgate is introducing alcohol-free Colgate Plax Gentle Care mouthwash, carefully formulated to be kind to sensitive mouths. Unlike other ordinary mouthwashes, Colgate Plax Gentle Care is alcohol free and gives you the 12hr protection against bacteria and plaque without the burn. Some people are unable to tolerate alcohol-containing mouthwashes because of the burning or stinging sensation.

This is particularly true for people with dry mouths due to hormonal changes, medical conditions or medications. Colgate Plax Gentle Care fights plaque and bacteria for up to 12 hours, protects gums, and removes 4 times more plaque than brushing alone. Colgate Plax Gentle Care also cleans in hard to reach places, and has a mild refreshing taste for long lasting fresh breath.
