GUM Activital Fluoride Q10 Mouth Rinse Fresh Mint Flavor, 300ml

GUM Activital mouth rinse contains fluoride alongside coenzyme Q10, in the brand's gum-focused range. A fluoride rinse is a useful addition to a routine, but the timing matters more than most people realise.

Using a rinse straight after brushing washes away the concentrated fluoride your toothpaste just left on the teeth, which works against you. Use it at a separate time of day, such as after lunch, and do not rinse with water afterwards.
