Colgate® Plax® Freshmint helps give you protection against bacteria, reaching all those hard to reach areas and freshening up your whole mouth. Colgate® Plax® provides a cooling sensation that lasts 10X longer than brushing alone. Use twice daily for a healthier, fresher mouth. When used after proper brushing and flossing, Colgate® Plax® Freshmint mouthwash helps deliver a plaque-control system. It works to further rid the mouth of bacteria that may linger on the tongue and inner cheeks, and helps stop new plaque from forming on and between teeth, as well as just below the gum-line.
