I found this amazing product after reading "Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye" by Ellie Phillips which basically tells you to (in this order which is important):
1) Use CloSYS for 30 seconds and do not rinse
2) Brush your teeth for 2 minutes (I floss first)
3) Use an anti-sceptic rinse like Listerine for 30 seconds
4) Either rinse with fluoride for 1 minute or (in the case you don't trust fluoride) use Xylitol as a rinse to counteract the alcohol in the anti-sceptic rinse
I healed 3 serious cavities in about 2 months. The dentist couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I have xrays. Blew the dentist away. Plus my teeth were whiter than they had ever been before. Get that book too, explains it all, shows the scientific research, talks about stuff like xylitol gum, and has a LOT more info.
So, I looked up the chemicals to find out how this stuff works. Here's a list of the ingredients in order of their amounts: water, stabilized chlorine dioxide, trisodium phosphate, citric acid
First, a small explanation on where cavities come from. The two types of bacteria most frequently associated with cavities and periodontal disease are anaerobic, which means they live where there is little oxygen. Oxygen in your saliva actually kills them but if you sleep with your mouth open or have dry mouth, you will have problems (and bad breath).
Sugar is also a problem, but surprisingly not because of sugar. But that same bacteria eats the sugar and literally poops acid that wrecks your teeth. Yes, bacteria poop is the stuff that rots your teeth. Ask your dentist.
So here's how CloSYS works:
1) Chlorine dioxide: attacks the volatile sulfur gases in your mouth, neutralizing them and the smell they produce. Also produces oxygen that kills the anaerobic bacteria in your mouth.
2) Trisodium phosphate: An alkaline solution used as a cleaning agent, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser. This safely cleans and bleaches your teeth.
That's it. It works well and is worth the price tag. I give it 5 stars.
And just in case, so that you know this is a real review, I have no association nor do I work with any company for this review including the book I mentioned. I'm just regular guy with other reviews on Amazon here. Just thought I'd help and spread the word.
As a lifelong user of Listerine, I was pleasantly surprised at how effective this rinse is without the alcohol and overwhelming taste. I switched to the Closys toothpaste and rinse a few months ago because the sulfates in regular toothpaste, and the alcohol in Listerine, was killing my gums and making the corners of my mouth crack open. Closys is gentle, and because of that, you can brush and swish longer. My dental hygienist has noticed a difference in my gums and the amount of staining on my teeth since I started using this system. This rinse is unflavored, so rinsing is like swishing with water, but my mouth feels clean without the overpowering mintiness of other mouthwashes. It does come with a tiny bottle of pure mint oil that you can add to your rinse if you want, but I enjoy the unflavored rinse as is. I don't have a bad breath problem, but my husband does when he eats certain things. I used to have him rinse with Listerine, but it did nothing to eliminate the bad breath, just sort of tried to mask it with mint. When he rinses with this, even without using the toothpaste, his breath is good. It truly eliminates the source of bad breath. Give this a try if you want to be kinder to your mouth, or if you have bad breath problems.
I am a dental hygienist who recommends this product to my patients as one of the only two mouthwashes I would want them to use daily. No alcohol and uses chlorine dioxide to kill the nasty bacteria that leads to bad breath and periodontal disease. No having to go for the burn and can use it flavored or a light mint flavoring which they add. A side effect is that it also whitens with no sensitivity. I also order it for my family from Amazon at a price better than our dental supplier. 😁
Dentist was recommending a deep cleaning, scaling etc, hundreds of dollars. Got more than one opinion; my worst pocket was over nine millimeters, most in the five-seven range.
Fast forward a year of daily closys rinsing prior to brushing, then listerine and act (fluoride rinse) after wards , and chewing spry xylitol gum after meals - dentist was shocked! 3mm or less on all teeth!
MUST HAVE for everyone. Say bye bye to bad breath, gum disease and infections. I had best dental checkup after using it for 1 mth. Will continue to use it forever.

Description
The key to optimal oral health is consistent, daily use of oral care products but that's not possible when mouthwash burns too much to use. That's what makes CloSYS Oral Rinse different. It's gentle, alcohol-free formula will not burn or irritate sensitive mouths, yet it's powerful enough to kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria within 10 seconds. You'll notice a fresher, cleaner mouth after using CloSYS and your dentist will too. In fact, thousands of dentists and hygienists recommend CloSYS Oral Rinse to their patients after dental procedures as well as for daily oral care, mouth sores and even for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
As a chronic bad breath sufferer, this stuff is a god-send. I've been using it for years and I will never go back to the alcohol mouthwashes.
I've always brushed and rinsed daily, only ever had ONE cavity my entire life, and have no gum disease, but for some reason my breath has been a problem since childhood.
I tried some "smart" and "thera" -peutic mouthwashes, but Closys is the only one that actually worked for me. Even after coffee, garlicy and onion-filled foods, my breath stays inoffensive.
Tongue scraping + brushing + flossing + rinsing with Closys = all day long fresh breath.
I recently had the most excruciating and gigantic canker sores (the "major" type, about 1 cm across) in the back on my mouth and near my throat. which lasted for weeks. After reading a recommendation for CloSYS on a dental site, I gave it a try. Wow. Whether it was coincidence or not, the ulcers began to heal within about 2 days of rinsing and gargling twice a day. Perhaps I had a secondary infection of some sort, but whatever was going on, CloSYS seems to have helped tremendously. Additionally, the rinse is quite pleasant to use in the presence of mouth ulcers; no stinging at all. I let my doctor know about the rinse and he's keeping the name on hand for other sufferers of canker sores (aphthous ulcers).
Bought this for my husband who has a gum infection according to the dentist that prescribed a dental rinse he filled the prescription for their dental rinse which he did not like as it had a slight burning sensation and horrible medicinally taste, I then started looking around the internet and thought of coming here since I do a lot of my purchasing with Amazon and found this brand , saw a lot of people had something good to say about this dental rinse so I thought I would give it a try, as I have heard a lot of bad things about other brands not being too good for people health and when I saw that this one did not have the chemicals which are known to cause side effects I immediately ordered some for him. My husband claims that there is no taste, no off putting smell like other rinses have and you can flavored it with the included peppermint flavoring to your liking. He does say it reminds him of swishing his mouth with peroxide and is easy to use and does not leave a horrible taste in your mouth like others have mentioned, jury is still out on this product though as he has only used it a few times, I will update the outcome of this product after he visits the dentist in February for now he is okay with using this brand of mouth rinse. My husband loves this rinse and is having great success with this rinse, Clo Sys has lessened the sensitivity of his tooth that needs a root canal which is on hold for now as he has high blood pressure and they won't do a root canal until his blood pressure is lowered, he is so happy with this rinse that he bought a second bottle of this, anybody having doubts about this rinse you can be assured that this Clo Sys works great and does what it promises
This mouthwash is very good. While I do wish it contained xylitol, it works great. For my first two bottles, I didn't use the flavor control. I finally tried it with my most recent bottle. Don't expect this to be like normal mint flavor! It's oil, so it will float on the top and perhaps get on your lips. Great lip moisturizer! But can burn, so don't put the whole flavor control container in, like I did! On my next bottle, I absolutely will not be using the flavor control.
Bought this due to the absence of "natural flavors" on the ingredients as I am allergic to some of those compounds, and was pleasantly surprised to find that some hidden tonsil stones came out after my first use! As someone who was cursed with tiny, hard to reach tonsils, it's always been hard to get any out even if I can see them :( it did leave a gross tonsil stone taste in the back of my mouth that I wasnt able to wash out, but it was gone the next day and I haven't tasted it with subsequent uses. Would give it 10 stars if I could!!!
