When it comes to oral health, we’ll be the first to tell you that a strong daily routine can make all the difference. While brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping are essential, there’s one more step that can really elevate your ritual: nano hydroxyapatite mouthwash.

From targeting hard-to-reach crevices to supporting enamel remineralization, the right mouthwash formula can deliver a refreshing boost while nurturing (not disrupting) your oral microbiome. But always remember: not all mouthwash is created equal. So before you reach for that bright bottle on the drugstore shelf, let’s explore why conventional mouthwash options might fall short…and how hydroxyapatite mouthwash offers a healthier, more holistic approach.

do I need mouthwash?

If you’ve been craving an extra-fresh feeling after you brush, you might want to add mouthwash to your daily oral care routine. But it’s important for us to highlight that mouthwash cannot work alone! Please don’t try replacing your current oral care routine with mouthwash. Instead, think of it as the cherry on top of an incredibly fresh holistic oral care routine.

After brushing, flossing, and scraping your tongue, consider adding mouthwash to…

• reach tight crevices your toothbrush can’t: it’s a liquid after all. It can flow through tight crevices to reach spots your toothbrush (and even your floss) can’t.
  
• flush out leftover particles: this one speaks for itself. Swishing with mouthwash can dislodge debris and microorganisms that brushing and flossing missed. Beware of conventional mouthwash though (ones that claim to kill 99.9% of germs) because these formulas can wipe out the good bacteria in your microbiome. Instead, try mouthwash with hydroxyapatite (and without harsh chemicals). Instead of wiping out your entire oral microbiome, hydroxyapatite mouthwash works to strike a healthy balance between good and bad bacteria.
  
• remineralize your enamel: when you swish with hydroxyapatite mouthwash (which we’ll discuss more below), it can deliver remineralizing nanoparticles to hard-to-reach spots on your teeth. Hydroxyapatite particles do their best work when they get to sit on your teeth untouched. After you swish with hydroxyapatite mouthwash, don’t rinse with water! Let it linger, so those nanoparticles can sink into your enamel and remineralize it from the inside out.
  
• freshen your breath: once you try swishing with a healthy, non-chemical mouthwash with hydroxyapatite, you’ll see that there’s no fresher feeling…or fresher breath.

With that being said, let’s explore the downsides of conventional mouthwash.

what’s wrong with conventional mouthwash?

When we say conventional mouthwash, we mean the mouthwash options that have dominated the drugstore shelves for years. These options typically glow bright green, blue, purple, and yellow with chemical dyes, so they’re hard to miss!

Conventional mouthwash might dominate the oral care world (and look “pretty” doing it), but it has its dirty side. Unlike chemical-free mouthwash with hydroxyapatite (which we’ll brush up on next), conventional mouthwash can…

• destroy good bacteria: the harsh chemicals and alcohol in conventional mouthwash work to wipe out all the bacteria in your mouth, no matter how good they are. Good bacteria, like streptococcus salivarius, lactobacillus, and bifidobacterium actually work to fight bad bacteria, maintain a healthy pH, aid fiber digestion, produce vitamins, and prevent infection. Why would you want to wipe them out?
  
• dry out your mouth: alcohol is directly linked with dry mouth, so why would you put it in an oral care product? Hydroxyapatite mouthwash contains intentional ingredients that prevent dry mouth, not cause it.
  
• imbalance your oral pH: by wiping out good bacteria and drying out your mouth, conventional mouthwash can throw off the pH in your mouth, making it more acidic and prone to oral care issues.
  
• contain many irritating ingredients: in addition to drying out your mouth, some chemical ingredients in mouthwash can cause mouth sores, stinging, burning, bleeding, and beyond.

If you want to keep mouthwash in your oral care lineup but avoid these downsides, we encourage you to turn to mouthwash with hydroxyapatite.

what you’ll find in the best hydroxyapatite mouthwash

The best hydroxyapatite mouthwash will effectively freshen your breath and fight plaque while working to detoxify your mouth and gums. Unlike conventional mouthwash, premium hydroxyapatite mouthwash is free of sulfates (like sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS), artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. Instead, it’s full of naturally sourced and derived ingredients like the ones listed below.

• high-quality hydroxyapatite: how do you know your oral care products contain high-quality hydroxyapatite? The brand should be able to show you how effective their hydroxyapatite is. We sent our proprietary hydroxyapatite formula, Hydroxi™, to a trusted third-party lab, and the results we received show how effective it is. The data collected revealed that our blend outperformed the competition, effectively repairing and remineralizing damaged enamel better than other leading sensitive formulas.
  • If (or when) you see Davids sell hydroxyapatite mouthwash, you can smile bright knowing it contains high-quality hydroxyapatite.
    
• xylitol: your hydroxyapatite mouthwash should also contain xylitol, an ingredient that works hand-in-hand with hydroxyapatite to tame bacteria and nurture your oral microbiome. As hydroxyapatite delivers essential minerals to your enamel, xylitol works to stimulate saliva, reduce dry mouth, nurture a healthy pH in your mouth, and “starve” bad bacteria for a balanced oral microbiome.
  
• glycerin: alongside xylitol, glycerin stimulates saliva flow to reduce dry mouth. Healthy salivary flow fights bad bacteria, neutralizes harmful acids, starts the digestive process, enhances your taste, and so much more! Keep an eye out for vegetable glycerin in your hydroxyapatite mouthwash.
  
• sodium bicarbonate: also known as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate neutralizes harmful acids to help your microbiome flourish and give you fresh breath.
  
• zero alcohol: by remaining alcohol-free, hydroxyapatite mouthwash won’t wipe out beneficial organisms in your oral microbiome. Because hydroxyapatite mouthwash doesn’t have alcohol, you can avoid that burning, stinging, or that sticky cotton mouth feeling that alcohol-filled mouthwash often causes.

Remember, hydroxyapatite mouthwash is a great addition to your oral care routine, but it’s not a replacement or a root-cause solution to any of your oral care issues. In addition to hydroxyapatite mouthwash, make sure you have the best toothpaste, floss, bamboo toothbrush, and stainless steel tongue scraper in your oral care routine too.
