OraMD® versus Listerine Whitening Pre Brush Rinse

There are many brands of mouthwash on the market today. Some are brands are very familiar to most us. These might include brands such as:

• Scope Mouthwash
• Listerine Mouthwash
• Cepacol Mouthwash
• And many other brands

Then there are the brands that are not so common or as well known. One of these brands is the Listerine Whitening Pre Brush Rinse product. This article will examine some of the more important differences between the products Listerine Pre Brush Rinse and the OraMD® product of all natural oral care drops.

We will examine two aspects:

• Ingredients
• Effectiveness of products

Oral care product ingredients are becoming more and more important to today's consumers as they learn more about the various health and safety risks associated with some ingredients. Of major concern to many people who use oral care products every day is the use of alcohol in these products. Verifiable research has been conducted by many major laboratories and all have concluded to alcohol intake by children can be dangerous, even life-threatening.

Listerine Whitening Pre Brush Rinse contains an alcohol level of about 8%. When you consider that beer contains only about 5% alcohol, this can raise some concern. Wine will usually contain about 12 to 15% alcohol content. As you can see, the alcohol in the Listerine Pre Brush Rinse is in between both of those. Now, it is a given that most children and adults who use the product do not swallow the product. However, ingestion can and does happen in some cases. Whether the ingestion is accidental or deliberate really makes no matter, and some alcohol does soak into the blood stream through the gum tissue. Because of this, the manufacturer of this products warns that it should not be used by children under the age of 12.

In contrast, the OraMD® product does not contain any alcohol whatsoever in its formula. This can be an important point to remember when deciding on which brands to use, especially when children will be using the product.

Effectiveness of products is also an important issue. The truth is that both of these products will do as they say they will do. The difference is in how they go about achieving those results.

When you buy Listerine Whitening Pre Brush Rinse you are basically buying the alcohol content as the antibacterial agent. It is the alcohol in the product that kills the germs. In the OraMD® product this antibacterial action is achieved through the use of three essential oils: peppermint, spearmint, and almond. These oils have been clinically proven to be effective in killing 22 bacteria and pathogens that inhabit the human mouth. In other words, the product does what it says it does.

In the end, the choice is up to the consumer. But many consumers will be happy to know that there are alternatives to alcohol-based products and ineffective breath mints. Read our comparison on OraMD® vs Breath Mints by following the provided link.
