Very interesting... So does that mean avoiding mouthwash altogether and only brushing with very simple fluoride toothpaste?

I'm guessing you don't cater to Australia.

Depending on your oral microbiome, there are more specific mouthwashes that primarily target anaerobic species that are implicated in diseases like gum disease and halitosis. Fluoride is highly effective at reducing caries incidence, but some newer ingredients also exist (such as nanohydroxyapatite) with high clinical efficacy if you worry about fluoride overexposure.

Additionally, depending on your oral microbiome, and your risk for oral disease, we recommend other products that can reduce your risk of disease and prevent the outgrowth of species implicated in oral disease.

Unfortunately we don’t ship to Australia yet! Someday soon I hope!

How do you feel about Closys for targeting anaerobic species?
