and this: Both of them are battery operated, which for me, is something new, since I usually buy the manual toothbrushes. After finishing using the battery toothbrush, my teeth actually looked cleaner! Then I used the tongue cleaner, which was gross the first time around, but it also did a good job. Hopefully these two things will help fight funky breath, if not, I'm going to have to invest in some Listerine too. I think you have a crush on Dr. Fresh! You're going to love your auto toothbrush. | |

Actually, the reason why I bought Dr. Fresh's products was because they were cheaper in price than the other products that did the same thing. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I would hate to use something with a sharp and thin edge on my tongue, cut myself, and then wind up in the emergency room. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I tend to find if you eat or drink dairy products before bedtime they give you terrible morning breath. | |

them suckers are smart....cause u gotta keep using to maintain the freshness... Tri-Oral is the bomb!! It kills morning breath.....i can bust slob first thing in the morning... The alchohol is what kills the bacteria, which are what cause odor! Mouthwashes without alchohol manually rinse the mouth and are usually minty, so they help some, but they don't address the root problem. Listerine does NOT damage the mouth or cause bad breath. There has been actual reaserch done on mouthwashes, and Listerine is the best. and ive seen reports that state that alcohol does dry out the mouth...but all these reports are probably industry sponsored and are going to support whatever the companies want....but for me, it just makes logical sense that alcohol, while killing bacteria, would dry out the mouth...and how many people rinse their mouths after eating each and everytime? thats why i love the tri-oral products...i used to have killer breath issues....now, nothing.....and i am dead serious about not having morning breath....how many people can claim that with listerine? the key to tri-oral is that you are mixing two seperate liquids right before you swish it in your mouth...there zinc and chlorine dioxide...its the immediate chemical reaction that aids in preventing bad breath.....the first i had heard about this was on The View....the mouth specialist was saying how using a product such as this will prevent bad breath for twenty four hours and how regular alcohol based products are only a shortterm remedy...it took me ages to find this shit...no store sold it (so i have to order it online)..ive been using it for three years now and I am here to say do *not* use alcohol based products... Space for sale... | |

I have heard mumblings about zinc products, actually. I used to work with a veterinarian who swore by them. What is the mechanism? How do they work? Do they adhere to your teeth or something? But a different product being good (better, even) doesn't make the alchohol products bad/dangerous. I can attest to being one of a gazillion people who have used Listerine and continued to have a perfectly moist mouth. | |

if you are like me and find flossing a pain... i suggest trying this. it's about half the length of a toothbrush and makes reaching even to the back very easy. reach makes one too but it looks more awkward than this one.
