FAQ's
-
Most mouthwashes contain alcohol, strong mint oils, fluoride, or SLS - ingredients that are either contraindicated during pregnancy or poorly tolerated, particularly in the first trimester. MamaSmiles Pregnancy Mouthwash contains none of these. It's formulated specifically for the oral health challenges of pregnancy: gum inflammation, enamel erosion from morning sickness, and sensitivity to strong flavours and smells.
-
Yes. It is alcohol-free, fluoride-free, SLS-free, and mint oil-free. Every ingredient is selected for safety and tolerability during pregnancy. As with any new product, if you have specific concerns consult your dentist or midwife.
-
Strong mint oils - including peppermint and spearmint - are commonly reported as a trigger for nausea during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. Many pregnant women find conventional mouthwashes unbearable for this reason. MamaSmiles Pregnancy Mouthwash uses a gentle alternative flavour profile so it can be used comfortably throughout all trimesters.
-
Yes - this is one of the most important use cases. Vomiting exposes teeth to stomach acid, which erodes enamel. Rinsing immediately after with a hydroxyapatite mouthwash helps remineralise and protect enamel before the acid causes lasting damage. Do not brush immediately after vomiting - rinse first, wait 30 minutes, then brush.
-
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up approximately 97% of tooth enamel. In mouthwash form it coats and remineralises enamel surfaces, helping to repair early erosion and strengthen teeth between brushing. It is particularly valuable during pregnancy when enamel is more vulnerable due to morning sickness and hormonal changes affecting gum tissue.
-
Xylitol actively inhibits the bacteria responsible for tooth decay and supports a healthier oral microbiome. Cranberry extract helps prevent bacteria from adhering to gum tissue, supporting gum health. Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties relevant to gum sensitivity during pregnancy. Vitamins C, E, and B12 support gum tissue integrity and healing - all three are commonly depleted during pregnancy.
-
Yes. The formula is designed for use throughout pregnancy. The absence of alcohol, fluoride, SLS, and mint oils makes it well-tolerated across all three trimesters.
-
Yes. It is designed to complement the MamaSmiles Pregnancy Toothpaste as part of a complete pregnancy oral care routine. Use the toothpaste twice daily and the mouthwash as needed - after meals, after morning sickness, or as part of your regular routine.
-
Yes. All MamaSmiles products are vegan and not tested on animals.
-
No. No artificial colours, flavours, sugars, or unnecessary additives. Every formulation decision is made on the basis of safety and evidence.
