DentylDual Action Smooth Mint Plaque-Reducing CPC Mouthwash, 500ml

good taste, teeth feel cleaner, fair price.

Very pleased that I can powdery Dentyl mint mouthwash, because I am unable to buy in any Boots store here. A good price too.

I was under the impression that this had a very high fluoride content, but actually not as much as some of the Listerines. Taste is quite strong, but not unpleasant to me, so I will be happy to give it a try.

Finding this mouthwash very difficult to buy on the high street. Love the flavour, freshens the mouth beautifully and freshness lasts for ages

My favourite mouthwash, no stinging or alcohol, tastes great and lasts.

My dentist suggested this product years back and it does not dissapoint. No after burn but it gets the mouth fresh and does the job as intended,

Rather than continuing with Corsodyl (or its chlorhexidine-containing alternatives, recommended by one of my doctors years ago) or even Listerine (still market-leader, but prefer the Mint version), I switched to a "Subscribe & Save" for this Dentyl Mint mouthwash in September 2023. I'd used Dentyl years before.The price in September 2023 was just £1.88 for a 500ml bottle (no initial discount)!😊 Now, September 2024, it is a whopping £3.80 (after measly 5% S&S discount)--more than DOUBLE!!😲 Over the year, I watched the price creep up every couple months. But even last month it stayed below that £3 barrier, at just £2.56 (after still measly 5% S&S discount). To jump by more than a third in one go is an OUTRAGEOUS PRICE INCREASE!😠I checked around and, unfortunately, it seems the company has pushed up its RRP, so every seller is charging around the £4 range for a 500ml bottle.😞So, is it actually *effective*? It doesn't contain chlorhexidine--that, I'd pay for. However, the "Smooth Mint"--milder by comparison to Listerine Regular--taste is great!👍 And, it's *much* better, IMHO, than their apparently unpopular, albeit often deeply discounted, Clove--which tastes nothing of "clove", neither the spice nor the full-on dental-pain home-remedy "clove liquid". A better taste means I'm more likely to use it regularly *and* leave it in my mouth longer. I'm old enough to remember Listerine's 1970s adverts with the tagline, "The taste people hate. Twice a day." Really? There are that many masochists?🤣 Well, now, Listerine also makes milder alternatives.It's also weirdly satisfying to see, in the sink afterward, how its "magical" chemical mix--incl. antimicrobial agent cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and oily isopropyl myristate--bonds with plaque and whatever "stuff" that seems to grow at the back of my throat.😯 Nice gimmick, although it actually contains (and requires for effect) less CPC per volume than its chief perfume ingredient, limonene.🤨 However, yes, my breath does smell fresher.🤷‍♀️Lastly, does it have enough fluoride to fend off tooth decay?🦷 Unlike a few other countries, the UK does *not* add fluoride to its (drinking) water--plenty of limescale though!😞 Doubtful.So, what has justified the sudden price hike? It's not "double-concentrate" or a larger volume. Frankly, it's just plain old PRICE-GOUGING,😠 apparently from the latest owner, Venture Life Group (since 2018 acquisition). Guess we're being charged for Venture's continuing aggressive global expansion (through acquisition) and ramped-up marketing campaigns.🤨Bottom line: I'm shopping around for a replacement. Bye buy?👋😉 ...I'll update my review (again) after testing... Tip: Check major grocery chains for MUCH CHEAPER own-brand CPC alternatives *and* consider more effective chlorhexidine formulations!😉

Mild flavor. Kills germs. Great dental checkups!
