The Dentyl Difference
Dentyl Dual Action’s unique formula combines a powerful antimicrobial agent called Cetylpyridinium Chloride with key essential oils, which physically lifts and removes plaque and bacteria from the mouth. A mouthwash that works, with instant results.
Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC)
• CPC is a powerful antimicrobial agent which helps keep mouths healthy.
• All Dentyl mouthwashes contain CPC, regardless of flavour or variant.
Dentyl Dual Action is the only mouthwash on the market to contain both CPC and IPM, and provides longer lasting protection for the mouth.
The only mouthwash that shows you the results in the sink.
Dentyl mouthwash doesn’t just give you fresh breath. The unique dual-action formula, which contains the powerful antimicrobial agent Cetylpyridinium Chloride, physically lifts and removes plaque and bacteria from the mouth, which you can see instantly when you rinse. In fact, a recent study found that with twice-daily use, Dentyl Dual Action reduces plaque by more than 60% after just one month*
A mouthwash that works, with visible results. See for yourself what brushing leaves behind.
Dentyl Dual Action is available in three fantastic flavours, and as it’s alcohol free, it’s perfect for the whole family.**

Developed by experts,
clinically proven.
Dentyl’s unique dual action formula physically lifts and removes plaque and bacteria that brushing alone can leave behind – and unlike other mouthwashes, you see the results instantly when you rinse.
An oil-based solution of essential oils and aromas.
Dentyl Dual Action consists of two solutions – oil and water – which remain separate in the bottle, but blend together once shaken.
The two liquid phases blend together and activate to create Dentyl Dual Action: a clinically-proven formulation that physically lifts and removes plaque, bacteria and food debris from your mouth – with visible results you can see when you #spititout.
A water-based solution containing an antimicrobial agent called Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), which eliminates 99% of bacteria (and unlike alcohol, it won’t sting or burn) and Sodium Fluoride, which can help strengthen the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to tooth decay.

The three flavours
Smooth mint
A cool mint without the sting. If you like your mouthwash minty fresh but without too much ‘zing’ Smooth Mint is the flavour for you.
Available in 100ml, 250ml and 500ml bottles.
Fresh clove
If you’re looking for a non-mint mouthwash, Fresh Clove delivers a hint of spice without the bite. A surprisingly fresh yet smooth taste!
Available in 100ml, 250ml and 500ml bottles.
Icy cherry
Another popular flavour for those looking for a non-mint mouthwash. Icy Cherry gives a fresh, fruity punch to set you up for the day – without the ‘dry-freeze’ effects of alcohol.
Available in a 500ml bottle.

Do you know what brushing alone can leave
behind? If it’s not in the sink, it’s in your mouth!
Here’s why oral health is important.
It’s important to remove as much bacteria from your mouth as possible. When bacteria in your mouth combine with saliva, it creates a sticky film which builds up on your teeth – known as plaque.
When you consume sugary or starchy foods, the bacteria in plaque use carbohydrates from these foods to create the energy they need, producing acid at the same time. Over time, this acid begins to break down the enamel on your teeth, eventually causing tooth decay. Other bacteria in plaque can also irritate your gums, potentially leading to gum problems.
Supplementing your usual routine with a 30-second swish of Dentyl Dual Action both morning and night will give you whole mouth protection to prevent the build-up of plaque – with instant results you can see in the sink. After just one month of twice-daily use, Dentyl Dual Action can reduce plaque by over 60%1

The science behind Dentyl
The unique Dentyl Dual Action formula was developed in the 1980s by one of the world’s leading dental experts and is backed by several scientific studies. Just over thirty years ago, Professor Mel Rosenberg of Tel Aviv University, was inspired to create a revolutionary new plaque fighting, breath-freshening mouthwash with an innovative formula.
The technology is based on a two-phase formulation that consists of an oil phase and a water phase, which combine when shaken.
Its key ingredient is Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), which disrupts the membrane – the fatty outer layer – of the bacteria. This allows the unique Dentyl formulation to remove the bacteria from the mouth, both quickly and effectively.
Dentyl Dual Action uses the negative charge of oral micro-organisms (bacteria), which sit within the biofilm/plaque on both the teeth and gums, and it uses this charge to remove the plaque/bacteria from the mouth. The cationic (positively charged) CPC, uses the bacteria’s anionic (negatively charged) properties to efficiently bind1 with them. Once bound, the charge of the bacteria is reduced, increasing their hydrophobicity (dislike of water), which in turn increases their preference for the oil droplets2 within the emulsion – much like metal shavings are attracted to a magnet, for example.
This enhanced affinity for the oil phase allows Dentyl Dual Action to act as a carrier, physically lifting and removing3 these microbes (and therefore the plaque) from the mouth. The accumulated plaque, bacteria and food debris presents as colourful specks in the mouthwash when it is expelled into the sink.
After rinsing, a fine film is then left behind on the teeth and gums to prolong the effectiveness of the mouthwash, so that it keeps working, long after you have used it.
Several studies have been carried out to verify the mode of action and effectiveness of this type of dual action – oil and water – formulation. The key conclusions from some of these studies can be found below.
Reduction of oral malodour
Day-long reduction of oral malodour by a two-phase oil:water mouthrinse as compared to chlorhexidine and placebo rinses4:
Results showed that:
- The two-phase mouthwash significantly reduced oral sulphides, as compared with the placebo rinse
- The positive control used within the study (Chlorhexidine mouthwash) appeared to be somewhat more effective than the two-phase mouthwash in reducing sulphide levels, although importantly, the two groups were not significantly different
The two-phase mouthwash and the positive control brought about highly significant, dramatic decreases in the level of oral microorganisms
The positive effect of CPC
Effect of CPC on microbial adhesion to hexadecane and polystyrene1:
The clinical study demonstrated that the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) significantly enhanced microbial adhesion to hexadecane and various other oils.
The results also concluded that:
- CPC acts to enhance adhesion by binding directly to the cell surface
- The surfactant acts by binding via its positive charge to negatively charged groups at the cell surface. The exposed hydrophobic moiety of the bound CPC molecules can then increase cell surface hydrophobicity, enabling partitioning of the cells at the oil-water interface
- The reduction in the net negative surface charge of the cell may also contribute to the hydrophobic properties observed
- Binding of CPC to the cell surface may promote cell-cell bridging, which may stabilize adhesion. Optimal CPC concentrations for enhanced adhesion brought about some aggregation when added prior to mixing with hexadecane
Improving oral health
Plaque Reduction, Fresh Breath, and Gingival Health
Our most recent study5 has further concluded that the dual phase technology of Dentyl Dual Action:
- Reduces plaque by 35% within 12 hours of first use, and by over 60% after 28 days
- Improves gingival health by 36% with 12 hours of first use, and by 63% after 28 days
- Removes oral bacterial
- Freshens breath for up to 12 hours
Clinically tested under dental control on 28 subjects/volunteers for 28 days of use, twice per day.
