CloSYS Mouthwash at Olympus View Dental
The Gentle, Effective Rinse Patients Actually Stick With
If you have ever abandoned a mouthwash because it burned, dried out your mouth, or left you wondering whether it was actually doing anything, you are not alone. Many patients ditch their rinse within a week. At our practice, we recommend CloSYS mouthwash because it solves the problems that cause most people to give up on oral rinses entirely. It is gentle enough for sensitive mouths, free of alcohol and harsh additives, and clinically supported to reduce the bacteria that cause bad breath, gum irritation, and plaque buildup.
What Makes CloSYS Different From Other Mouthwashes
Most over-the-counter rinses rely on alcohol or strong antiseptics to kill bacteria. The problem is those ingredients do not discriminate. They wipe out the harmful bacteria, yes, but they also disrupt the natural balance of your oral microbiome, dry out soft tissues, and can irritate gums that are already inflamed.
CloSYS mouthwash uses a patented chlorine dioxide formula that targets the sulfur-producing bacteria responsible for bad breath without the burn or the dryness. It is pH-balanced, unflavored by default (though a flavor-drop option is available), and safe for daily use even for patients with sensitive gums, dry mouth conditions, or post-treatment healing.
Who Benefits Most From CloSYS Mouthwash
CloSYS mouthwash is not a one-size-fits-all product. It was specifically developed with certain patients in mind. Here are five groups who tend to see the biggest improvement:
- Patients with chronic bad breath: Chlorine dioxide neutralizes sulfur compounds at the source rather than masking them with artificial flavor.
- Those with sensitive or inflamed gums: The alcohol-free formula does not sting or aggravate already-tender tissue.
- Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment: Braces and aligners create tight spaces where bacteria thrive. CloSYS mouthwash rinses effectively without damaging hardware or irritating brackets.
- Dry mouth sufferers: Alcohol-based rinses worsen dry mouth. CloSYS hydrates rather than depletes moisture in oral tissues.
- Post-surgical and post-procedure patients: The gentle formula supports healing without introducing harsh chemicals to vulnerable tissue.
How CloSYS Fits Into Your Daily Routine
Using CloSYS mouthwash is straightforward. Rinse for 30 to 60 seconds after brushing and flossing, once or twice a day. Because it has no overpowering flavor, it does not interfere with the taste of water or food the way some minty rinses can. Many patients who have struggled with consistency find the unflavored option easier to stick with long-term.
The flavor drops allow you to customize the intensity of mint to your preference, which makes it a good choice for children transitioning to a full oral hygiene routine or for adults who simply want options.

Frequently Asked Questions About CloSYS Mouthwash
Is CloSYS mouthwash safe to use every day?
Yes. Because it is free of alcohol and harsh antiseptics, CloSYS is formulated for daily use. Most patients use it once or twice a day as part of their regular brushing and flossing routine without any irritation.
Can children use CloSYS?
CloSYS is generally considered safe for older children and teens, particularly those in orthodontic treatment. For young children, check with your dentist to confirm it fits their current routine and age-appropriate needs.
Will it help if I already brush and floss regularly?
Absolutely. CloSYS mouthwash reaches areas that brushing and flossing miss, including the back of the tongue and the spaces between teeth that accumulate bacteria throughout the day. It is a strong complement to, not a replacement for, your existing routine.
Does insurance cover mouthwash recommendations?
Dental insurance typically does not cover over-the-counter products like mouthwash. However, your dentist can help you determine where CloSYS fits into your overall treatment plan, which may include covered services.
