I've been blessed with a healthy mouth and teeth. I brush regularly, floss (OK, a little less regularly, but I'm working on it) and get dental check-ups twice a year. But, I've never been a regular mouthwash user.

I don't mind a strong taste, I like it when I use it, but somehow I've not seemed to get in the habit like the rest of my family has, so when Mom Central offered the chance to test drive Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse, I thought it might be a way to make it part of my routine as I'm not getting any younger (ahem), and I'd like my teeth and gums to be around for a while.

I've been using it for a couple of days and noted a strong. minty taste that leaves your mouth tingling (which I like). One of the first times I used it, the phone rang, and I had to abandon the process after a brief time. When I was done with my phone call, I noticed the feeling was still there, and that it was working even when I had only used it briefly.

Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse offers more than just fresh breath, it:

- Kills germs
- Helps prevent gingivitis
- Freshens breath
- Reduces plaque
- Keeps teeth cleaner longer (vs. brushing alone)

It does contain alcohol, so I will be sure to note if it dries out my mouth, but so far, so good! Stay tuned to see how it goes. Will I still like it? Will I make using it a habit?

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Crest and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central Consulting sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
