Like its Fresh Mint counterpart, it features an alcohol-free formula that kills 99.9% of germs and provides 24/7 bad breath control when used twice daily. The cooling sensation it provides lasts 10 times longer than brushing alone, contributing to a refreshing and invigorating mouthfeel. Similar to other mouthwashes, Colgate Plax, when used in conjunction with proper brushing and flossing, helps deliver a plaque-control system, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the mouth. It targets bacteria that may linger on the tongue and inner cheeks, as well as helps prevent new plaque from forming on and between teeth and just below the gumline. The formation of a protective barrier shield to neutralize the effects of bacteria and plaque for 12 hours provides extended protection throughout the day. Overall, Colgate Plax Mouthwash in Gentle Mint seems like a reliable option for those seeking comprehensive oral care with a gentle mint flavor. (description exceeds maximum possible length)
