Can I still use my regular toothpaste and mouthwash if I use TheraBreath?
( Back to FAQs ) Absolutely not. Almost all commercial toothpastes contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SOAP), placed in toothpaste in order to create a foaming action, so that you think that something is actually happening. It has no beneficial effects at all. Unfortunately, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate will also inhibit the potency of the active ingredients. That is why those who use TheraBreath Toothpaste should read the ingredients in their commercial toothpaste – it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate! Furthermore, almost all mouthwashes contain alcohol. And as you know, alcohol makes the mouth drier which will then make your breath and taste worse. This will negate the benefits of the oxidation process. TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste were designed to replace all of those old-fashioned 19th century formulas that make your mouth dry.
