ACT® Whitening Mouthwash is a non-acidic, pH-balanced mouth rinse that works along with the patient’s saliva in the remineralization process. Because the caries process produces acid and lowers intraoral pH, consistent use of neutral sodium fluoride helps the remineralization process and rebuilds weakened enamel. ACT® Whitening Mouthwash can help prevent demineralization, promote remineralization and ultimately serve as an effective defense against caries.4 3FDI Commission. (2002, Oct).
