There are in essence two types of mouthwashes:

-Breath Fresheners, which act merely as a breath freshener; and
-Antiseptic/ Antibacterial.

Mouthwashes, which eradicate plaque and other oral bacteria (plaque, which causes dental caries is in effect bacteria). Some of the breath fresheners claim that they have antibacterial properties, but in practice that effect is very limited.

The dilemma with the current Antiseptic / Antibacterial products are threefold:
-Prohibitively expensivefor everyday use,
-Horrendously tasting(consumer compliance is therefore a major issue), and,
-Cannot be used for every day oral/ dental care on account of the side effects that occur when used regularly.

The use in practice for the current Antiseptic / Antibacterial Mouthwashes is therefore reserved for very specific indications and for very short periods only, e.g. post operatively and in instances of mouth / gum infections.

Zynadent Mouthwash was developed by a Medical Doctor and Pharmacologist (who holds a B.Sc, Honor’s and Master’s degrees in Pharmacology) to fill that void in the market; i.e.
- An effective mouthwash which can be used daily on a continuous basis in order to achieve optimal oral hygiene and dental care,
- Pleasant tasting,and
- Affordable.
