Lame. I like this mouthwash. Personally I have used it for well over a year and haven't died yet. Using the two bottles I have is most unlikely to kill me so I can't really be bothered to take it back since there's nothing on the market quite as good in my view....

I knew it, I'm dying on the inside. Time to sue.

hmmm, my misses might use that stuff!

That stuff is pure guff anyway. Use this opportunity to switch to a mouthwash that will nuke everything in your mouth rather than make it feel like you have eaten a stick of chalk and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

They've identified a microbiological problem with it?

Lovely. Either that anibacterial compound they use is pretty rubbish or you might have been washing fungus around your mouth for the past few weeks.

My dentist is quite adamant that mouthwash is a total waste of money, and a good flossing routine is far better.

^^Yeah, mine too. I used to use it but don't bother these days.

And potentially less likely than alcohol mouthwashes to give you cancer.

Can mouthwashes cause a false positive on a breathalyser test?

Yup. You have to wait 20 minutes after using one.

EDIT> that is MOST mouthwashes, not Dentyl. Dentyl has no alcomoHOL

Wonder if I can blame that stuff on the periconitis (?) around my wisdom tooth that has caused untold suffering this week. Expect my dentist would tell me it was more a result of the plaque buildup down the side.

On salty water and corsodyl now anyway.

Can I still get a refund if the bottle is almost empty?

it maybe the radioactive exposure you need to finally become a super hero

nothing clears the back of your throat like a good old gargle. unless you can do that with floss.........

How exciting. I have never been the owner of anything that has been recalled!

I blame my sore throat and cough I have had for nigh on two weeks on this stuff.

Why on earth would you want to "nuke everything in your mouth"? Commensal bacteria can be beneficial to normal function.

Yuck, Dentyl Ph is rancid stuff, you dont feel the 'power' like with Listerine, and when you spit it out you have to spit out about 5 times and rinse your mouth underthe tap to get rid of all the blue/pink goo. FAIL

I didn't realise that "clearing the back of your throat" was conducive to good dental hygeine.

Just called them, there has been no side effects at the moment, but this is just cautionary... I have 2 bottles here that my family uses one half empty and one 3/4 full, she told me to take them back... and yes you can...

Nope. Urban legend.

I've got an almost-finished bottle, but I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it from, and there's no chance I've still got the receipt. Ah well.
