The TheraBreath Deep Clean formula represents a professional-grade approach to oral hygiene, introducing Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) at a 0.1% concentration. This antiseptic is designed for the reduction of plaque biofilm. It remains alcohol-free, maintaining a non-desiccating profile for the oral mucosa while delivering broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
The primary driver in this formulation is Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC). From a biochemical perspective, CPC is a quaternary ammonium cation that disrupts bacterial cell membranes, effectively conditioning the oral environment and reducing plaque. The formula is stabilized with Sodium Citrate and Citric Acid to maintain an optimal pH, ensuring the CPC remains active without the acidic sensation associated with traditional ethanol-based rinses. The absence of artificial colors minimizes the risk of contact sensitivity.
To maximize efficacy, it is recommended to avoid rinsing with water or eating for 30 minutes post-application. High-concentration CPC rinses can occasionally cause temporary surface staining in a small percentage of users if protein-rich biofilms are present; regular professional cleanings mitigate this occurrence.
