mouthwash
Fresh Breath Oral Rinse
TheraBreath is the most accessible high-performance mouthwash for combating severe bad breath. Its oxygenating formula targets anaerobic bacteria at the back of the throat without the use of alcohol.
Quality & Materials
Uses OXYD-8 (a version of stabilized chlorine dioxide). Contains Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid for pH adjustment. Free from alcohol and artificial flavors.
Evidence & Testing
Developed by Dr. Harold Katz specifically for clinical halitosis; widespread clinical use and long-term market presence with high consumer satisfaction and dentist recommendations.
Brand Transparency
Owned by Church & Dwight; transparency is standard for a large corporation but lacks the deep-dive batch testing info of boutique brands.
Value Assessment
Excellent value, especially when purchased in 2-packs. It is the most cost-effective way to access stabilized chlorine dioxide technology.
Why Not Alternatives?
It outperforms standard supermarket rinses like Listerine for halitosis because it doesn't just mask odors; it stops the chemical reaction that creates them. It loses a point in ingredient quality compared to RiseWell due to the use of sodium benzoate and PEG-40.
