A member asked:
Is act restoring mouthwash good for remineralizing teeth? i see that it contains alcohol. is that counter productive to remineralizing bc its drying?

Tooth products: ACT fluoride mouthwash also come in an alcohol free version. It strengthens the teeth via an infusion of fluoride ions, but it does not necessarily remineralize the enamel. For that you will need a different product such as a remineralizing toothpaste.
