Not your average mouthwash[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This a bit more 'heavy duty' than other mouthwashes you can buy in the supermarket, It's not just for fresh breath etc.. It's helpful for people with gingivitus and mouth infections, ulcers, or for use after a visit to the dentist when you've had a bit of work done, and so forth.
It has a mint flavour , it reminds me of chewing gum that you've had in your mouth for a few minutes. You have to keep it in your mouth for one minute.
It has to used up within 4 weeks of opening but it's not a big bottle so it was'nt hard to get through it in that time.

Dentist recommended[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of two mouthwashes recommended to me by my dentist and periodontist as it has great antibacterial properties and helps reduce risk of infection.
I had to use this after an accident left me with a chipped tooth that I ended up having removed and replaced with an implant. Safe to say I never got an infection but did have to return to my dentist after using this to have the stains removed.
Not recommended for daily use as it does cause stains.
I had the blue one for about 3 months and it ended up forming pumps and tasted foul. I guess it has a short shelf life or I got a dud bottle.

Does its job[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dentist put me onto this mouth rinse when I was experiencing bleeding gums. He recommended I use it only once per day for no longer than a week and the symptoms should clear up. He was certainly right, my bleeding gums stopped within 2-3 days, so after the week, I discontinued use of the rinse until the next time my gums bled. Compared to listerine, this doesn't have fancy flavours or colours, but it does what it's supposed to do. It's not a pleasant favour, but it gets the job done so the flavour doesn't bother me all that much.

Works a treat![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was put onto Savacol by my dentist after I had had my wisdom teeth removed. It helped with the healing process and kept my mouth bacteria free. Now when I have an ulcer or a sore throat the first thing I reach for is Savacol. This stuff is amazing and the ulcer or sore throat is usually gone overnight. I recommend this to all my friends and family if the have an ulcer or sore throat, not just for post surgery. Savacol is amazing and effective even if the taste isn't the best. Worth every penny!

Great for people with braces![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this most of my life mostly when I get sores in my mouth or cuts on the inside of my lips. I have braces so the inside of my mouth always has cuts and sores which are painful and bleed. I like to rinse my mouth with this mouthwash because I find that it heals the cuts and sores in my mouth quicker and sort of numbs my gums so it really does provide some relief if I'm in pain. The mouthwash also leaves a pleasant minty scent in my mouth which is what I like.

well... it tastes like[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So it doesnt taste great, acctaully far from it. But you can't go past it.
I was told to use this weekly to help protect my gums, and I also find this great when I have cold, throat infection or olcers. It comes in a small enough bottle and is great value for the price.
I was was warned that if use use this everyday you may end up with green teeth so I would not advise using this more than weekly if you use this reguarly.

Worked very well[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I too bought this product from the recommendation of my dentist during my wisdom teeth troubles and removal. It quickly cleared up a slight infection and kept my mouth very clean throughout the removal waiting period / after the surgery. The taste is not as good as normal mouthwashes and quite medical however it works very well and I think it's more effective than salty water. It's not cheap but well worth it.

does what its meant to[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was advised by my dentist to use savacol to rinse out my mouth 3 times a day after extraction of four wisdom teeth. It does have an icky taste to it but it doesn't burn like listerine which I am very grateful of. I'd hate for my it to burn where I just had the oral surgery. It keeps my mouth healthy and free from bacteria growing. I will continue to use it until my gums are fully healed.
