A few weeks ago, Mom Central offered the chance to test drive Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse. As I said before, I'm the only one in my house who doesn't use some sort of mouthwash/rinse, mainly because I've never gotten in the habit.

But, after a few weeks of trying this out, I have to say I'm impressed with myself!

I've been using it fairly regularly, and as a review, here are some of the cool things Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse offers in addition to fresh breath. It:

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

One of the things that's struck me the most about it is how long it feels like it's working. I can still feel the minty taste several hours into the day, but not in a distracting, "I can't taste anything" way.

It does contain alcohol, and I was concerned that it might make my mouth too dry. When I first use it, it's a strong, minty taste (but, not medicine-y) and for a moment I get that dry mouth sensation, but it doesn't last too long.

So, for me, it's gone well. The real test will come the next time I see the dentist, but I do feel like my teeth stay cleaner longer.

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.
