Our Science
Therapeutic mouthwashes are commonly used to reduce dental plaque by using antimicrobial compounds such as chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, or ethanol. However, these harsh chemicals don’t just kill harmful bacteria—they also eliminate beneficial ones. Overuse can lead to harmful effects on the mouth, and these antimicrobials are toxic if swallowed. This is why the American Dental Association advises against traditional antimicrobial mouthwashes for children under six—they can be dangerous if accidentally ingested.
MayPall mouthwash offers a safer alternative with NO toxic antimicrobial chemicals. Instead, it works through a unique anti-biofilm mechanism. Its primary ingredients prevent cavity-causing bacteria from sticking to tooth surfaces and forming plaque. In the presence of these natural compounds, harmful bacteria are rendered powerless, unable to attach to surfaces like teeth.
Derived from maple and green tea, these key anti-biofilm ingredients make MayPall a safe and effective choice. It’s gentle enough to swallow, making it ideal for children of all ages—and a great option for adults who prefer a natural approach to oral care.
