And to the question “is it needed at all?” most dentists give a positive answer.
But it is extremely important to choose it correctly. The Russian company Pharmasoft , which has long established itself in the toothpaste market, has released a couple of mouth rinses in addition to them.
Using these rinses, you can not only cope with existing oral problems, but also prevent their occurrence in the future.
Rinse aid composition
Reference! A unique component of the rinse is the substance Mexidol - a synthetic antioxidant and antihypoxant.
It activates the regeneration process in oral tissues, relieves inflammation, and protects other areas of the mucous membrane from the influence of pathogenic bacteria .
Therefore, patients with gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis and other diseases can use it without fear. But consulting a doctor in this case will not be superfluous.
Mexidol Dent is a patented name for methyl hydroxypyridine succinate. It is superior to natural analogues in effectiveness, dissolves in water and easily penetrates the tissues of the oral cavity.
In addition to Mexidol, the composition contains licorice extract .
It prevents carious bacteria from producing aggressive acids and has a detrimental effect on them and other harmful microorganisms.
At the same time, beneficial microflora does not suffer. Clinical and post-marketing studies have shown that licorice extract can be used indefinitely (unlike synthetic antiseptics and antibiotics).
The rinse aid does not contain components such as fluoride and alcohol .
Note! Excess fluoride, as some doctors believe, leads to the formation of cancerous tumors and other health problems, so it was decided not to use it in the Pharmasoft product line.
Alcohol dries out the mucous membrane, causing it to become red, irritated and sore.
For this reason, he was also not included in the composition. Additional components : essential peppermint oil, hydrolyzed castor oil, diazolidinyl urea, glycerin.
The product is packaged in convenient 300 ml bottles . They, in turn, are packed in cardboard boxes.
The product should be stored out of the reach of children, not in the refrigerator, not near heating devices or in the sun.
Product line
After the company entered the market with its first product, it began to actively conduct research in order to improve the paste produced and expand its line. Today its range includes several varieties of pastes, each of which has its own characteristics.
Mexidol Dent Aktiv (Mexidol Dent Active)
The product in question is intended to prevent periodontitis and gingivitis. In its composition, it contains, along with Mexidol, such a highly effective component as xylitol. The substance has a sweetish taste and high antimicrobial activity.
Thanks to its carefully selected composition, Mexidol Dent Active toothpaste not only copes well with the task of preventing the development of periodontitis, but also effectively treats it at the initial stage, when inflammatory processes are just beginning in the periodontal tissue.
In addition to the above components, the Mexidol Dent Aktiv product also contains titanium dioxide and trisodium phosphate, which have pronounced anti-inflammatory properties.
Regular use of Mexidol Dent Active toothpaste improves the trophism of soft tissues and also reduces the time required to restore inflamed periodontal disease. In addition to this, this paste can inhibit bacterial activity and easily remove deposits, which helps prevent the development of caries.
Mexidol Dent Active paste looks a little different than the usual one. The medicinal composition contained in the tube is pink in color and has a pleasant mint taste. An important characteristic is the average level of abrasiveness. In pharmacies, one tube of paste is offered at prices ranging from 80 to 140 rubles.
Mexidol Dent Complex (Mexidol Dent Complex)
This product has a complex effect and, with regular use, allows you to solve several problems simultaneously:
- restores damaged tissue;
- eliminates foci of caries and other dental diseases;
- strengthens gum tissue.
Mexidol Dent Complex paste is recommended by the manufacturer for the following conditions of the oral cavity:
- increased sensitivity of gums and teeth;
- tendency to develop carious lesions;
- frequent periodontal inflammation.
Mexidol Dent Complex paste contains not only the standard components for this line - Mexidol and xylitol, but also calcium citrate. This is a water-soluble calcium salt that can easily penetrate the surface layer of enamel and fill the voids with calcium ions.
As a result of this effect, the enamel is strengthened and restored. When calcium ends up inside the enamel, the pores and dentinal tubules become clogged, which makes the teeth less sensitive and prevents the process of leaching minerals from them.
Reducing tooth sensitivity can only be achieved if Mexidol Dent Complex toothpaste is used regularly. The product has a medium degree of abrasiveness and is available in a standard color for the line of this manufacturer. In the pharmacy chain, Mexidol Dent Complex paste is available at a price of 150 rubles.
Mexidol Dent Sensitive (Mexidol Dent Sensitive)
The main feature of this paste is the minimum level of abrasiveness among all products in the line. It is recommended to be used to relieve increased sensitivity of crowns. The main active substance in its composition is potassium nitrate. This is a substance that has a strong analgesic effect on the nerve fibers located in the tooth pulp. The effect appears within a couple of minutes after applying the product to the tooth surface.
Mexidol Dent Sensitive paste can be used for medicinal purposes not only in the traditional way by brushing the teeth. It can also be used in the form of applications, for which you need to apply a small amount of the product to the problem crown.
However, this product can be used for no longer than 1 month . The peculiarity of the product is that it is able to provide only a temporary effect. At the same time, the main problem that caused such a symptom does not disappear.
Mexidol Dent Sensitive toothpaste not only has an analgesic effect , but also destroys germs and treats gum diseases . This effect is due to the presence of xylitol and mexidol in the paste.
In the pharmacy chain, Mexidol Dent Sensitive is offered in the form of a colorless gel with a purple tint, which has a mint flavor. You can purchase it at a price of 120 rubles.
Mexidol Dent Fito (Mexidol Dent Fito)
This product is an improved form of Dent active paste .
It not only absorbed all the best from the previous model, but also received new valuable properties. This paste contains not only standard components, but also new ones - extracts of plantain and fir needles .
The dental health benefits of pine needle extract are associated with its pronounced antibacterial activity . In addition, the plant has a stimulating effect on blood flow and soft tissue regeneration. Plantain extract has strong hemostatic properties, which begin to appear after the first use.
Considering the composition of mexidol paste, it is recommended primarily to be used for the treatment of periodontal diseases of any severity.
In the pharmacy chain, this product is available in the form of a composition that has a classic shade and a medium level of abrasiveness. You can buy it at a price of 100 rubles.
Professional White
The manufacturer recommends using this paste for whitening crowns. Its main feature is its rich composition, which contains substances with diverse effects:
- licorice extract . A component that has pronounced antibacterial activity and perfectly fights germs that cause caries.
- Among the components presented in the paste, it contains Mexidol , which has a strengthening and restorative effect, which is very relevant for periodontal disease.
- papain . The benefits of this enzyme are manifested in the breakdown of soft and hard dental deposits. This substance also gives the crowns a lighter shade.
- Double calcium , which is represented by hydroxyapatite and calcium citrate. Thanks to this combination, the paste has a strengthening effect on the enamel and restores its microdefects, making the crown smoother.
- pyrophosphates . Substances that prevent the formation of new bacterial deposits and help destroy bacteria from under the gum pocket.
Such a rich and carefully selected composition allows the paste to whiten teeth, as well as solve many serious dental problems.
The paste has a high level of abrasiveness, which is why it should only be used with a soft brush. In the pharmacy chain it is offered at a price of about 180 rubles.
Rinse aid
The range includes not only mexidol pastes, but also a special rinse designed to treat and prevent gum inflammation. This product contains licorice extract and Mexidol. This combination of substances effectively eliminates the symptoms of inflammation and accelerates the regeneration of soft tissues.
The additional beneficial effect of these components is manifested in improving tissue trophism and accelerating the restoration of metabolic processes. In the pharmacy chain, this rinse, which is offered in 250 ml bottles, can be purchased at a price of 200 rubles.
Indications for use
Designed for the prevention of caries, gingivitis and periodontitis.
The manufacturer does not recommend using Mexidol Dent mouthwash during pregnancy and breastfeeding , since no studies have been conducted on the effect of the drug on the fetus.
Stay up to date! In case of emergency, use should be agreed with your doctor.
The solution also has a number of contraindications. Mexidol Dent mouthwash must not be used :
- Children under twelve years of age (special children's paste should be used for baby teeth);
- In case of individual intolerance to the components.
The drug should not be swallowed. If you accidentally swallow a large amount of liquid, you should consult a doctor.
Peculiarities
Due to its composition, Mexidol series pastes are used for:
- Gingivitis.
- Gingivorrhagia.
- Periodontitis.
- Hemorrhagic form of periodontal disease.
- Infectious or burn lesions of the oral mucosa (ORM).
- Xerostomia.
- Carious process.
The advantage of pastes produced is the absence of fluorine and chlorhexidine particles in the composition. Excessive amounts of fluoride can cause fluorosis. In certain regions, there is a high concentration of fluoride in the water, and if a person additionally receives it from pasta, the situation can end in disaster.
Features of the Mexidol series pastes are:
- Improving the trophism of soft tissues and metabolic processes.
- Increasing the protective properties of fabrics.
- Acceleration of tissue regeneration.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Flux: how to treat formations on the gums, gumboil tablets and other medications, how to quickly remove gumboil at home
No antibiotics are added to the Mexidol hygiene products, so there is no addiction to the paste. This indicates the possibility of long-term use of the product. The exception is the Mexidol Dent Professional White series whitening paste. It is highly sensitive, so use for more than 30 days can harm the enamel layer of the tooth and lead to increased sensitivity in the future.
Instructions for use
You should know! When using mouthwash, you should follow the following basic rules:
- Mouthwash is not the main, but an additional means for caring for teeth and gums. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is brush your teeth properly using toothpaste and a brush . Only in this case the effect of its use will be maximum.
- Measure out 10 ml of the drug . The lid will help you with this - it’s also a measuring cap. There is no need to dilute it , but if at first the taste seems unpleasant to you, you can add a little clean water. However, over time, you will still have to switch to the undiluted version.
- Hold the liquid in your mouth for a minute. This time is enough for the active components contained in the composition to act on tissues and teeth.
- after this .
- Repeat the procedure 6 times a day.
- Do not eat or drink for an hour after the procedure.
No negative effects have been observed when used with oral medications. Simultaneous use with other dental products is not recommended .
It is worth noting! Manufacturers admit that some undesirable effects may occur due to improper brushing of teeth.
If the user presses too hard on the toothbrush, or initially selected the brush incorrectly.
In this case, it is wrong to attribute discomfort to the influence of the rinse aid.

I had to look for the rinse aid in pharmacies, but the result was worth it. Despite the high cost, I am pleased with the result.
I used it with the same brand of toothpaste. Firstly, your teeth will feel clean until your next meal. Secondly, the teeth became clearly stronger. Thirdly, the yellow plaque is gone!
A bottle lasts for 2-3 weeks. And the taste of the rinse is so soft and pleasant: there is no burning or itching sensation like after other mints. I didn’t have gum inflammation, so I can’t say anything here.
Antuanna.
The mouthwash was recommended to me by my dentist. He said that for my bleeding gums, which become inflamed for any reason, I couldn’t find anything better.
And indeed: there are fewer foci of inflammation in the mouth, the mucous membrane has become much stronger and healthier. The doctor assured that the problem of caries would not affect me either.
Let's see: since I have braces, and this is an additional bad factor. The mouthwash looks like a clear liquid with mint flavor and does not burn the mucous membranes.
