Dr. Tichenor's Antiseptic Mouthwash Peppermint
Some mouthwash brands are big on making the most out of their marketing, and Dr. Tichenor's has certainly done so with its brand appeal that suggest to users that the formula has been in use –and has been successful-- for decades. With a fairly simple formula that incorporates alcohol, oil of peppermint, arnica, and water, this first-generation germ killer mouthwash nearly made it to the “natural” category, though its dependency on alcohol to counteract the symptoms of bad breath and halitosis separate it from less harsh approaches to fresh breath. The formula may work well for people who experience bleeding gums or other sores in the mouth along with bad breath, though whether it's the right answer for most people is not a sure thing.
Battling Flavor for Bad Breath Problems? Dr. Tichenor's Taste and Testing Many people enjoy the flavor of peppermint oil, but in certain formulations, it can easily become mind-blowingly strong. When added to alcohol in the Dr. Tichenor's formula, oil of peppermint takes on an overpowering character that some users like, though the strength of the flavor doesn't always indicate that the mouthwash is working properly. At least one user has referenced that without pain, there's no gain in connection with this mouthwash, an idea that may be attractive for users who like their products very strong, but which probably turns others off. This mouthwash is marketed as a bad breath killer, and its inclusion of arnica, a type of flower typically used to heal skin conditions, has helped some people enjoy a healthier state-of-mouth. Though the brand promotes the idea that its formulas are the results of medical expertise in the field, little evidence exists that Dr. Tichenor's has carried out extensive bad breath test experiments –such experiments typically happen in the bathrooms of buyers.
Does Dr. Tichenor's Mouthwash Mean Potential Halitosis Help or Hindrance? People who grapple with chronic halitosis may find that the powerful concentration of oil of peppermint in this mouthwash is helpful in neutralizing VSCs, or volatile sulfur compounds, the

main components of bad breath. Yet because of its alcohol content, Dr. Tichenor's may actually make some types of halitosis worse, since alcohol is a drying agent and can decrease saliva production in the mouth, resulting in more buildup of new bacteria. Some users may find that using this mouthwash after a meal containing bad breath-causing foods like onions or garlic is useful, but whether it's a long-term cure for serious halitosis concerns isn't as hopeful. The concentrated formula has been noted by some to be simply too overpowering for regular use, and the breath-freshening results may wear off after a few hours, and especially overnight, resulting in a solution that's temporary at best. Children under six shouldn't use Dr. Tichenor's formula, and kids of an older age may have difficulty swishing and gargling with such a strong and alcoholic product.
Is Dr. Tichenor's Worth a Try for Basic Bad Breath? Addressing everyday bad breath after meals or exercising might be easy to do with this powerfully flavored mouthwash, but people who have more complex concerns and who suspect that they have or have actually been diagnosed with halitosis may need to focus on a mouthwash with a more modern approach to cleaning and refreshing the mouth, such as an oxidizer or a third-generation product. If the product truly disappoints, it may at least be useful for other purposes –one user was so impressed with the formula they decided to use it as an aftershave, with apparently positive results.
