Defend your health with every rinse: A discovery that keeps diseases at bay

As the saying goes, “In every crisis lies great opportunity”. Birthed from the COVID-19 pandemic, the discovery of an antiseptic mouthrinse with antiviral properties that fight against plaque and tooth decay. A marriage between the best of oral health research and industry, the made-in Singapore mouthrinse—the Pearlie White Defenze Antiseptic Flouride Mouth Rinse, was developed by the National Dental Centre Singapore and home-grown oral care brand, Pearlie White.

Such commercial mouth rinses containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on salivary COVID-19 virus loads was first discovered in 2020 by Jaya Seneviratne, Associate Professor and Principal Investigator at the National Dental Research Institute Singapore.

This exciting innovation helps manage the spread of diseases transmitted through airborne particles by suppressing the viral load in the mouth, which then reduces the chance of the virus spreading through saliva. It takes a mere five minutes to effectively reduce the salivary virus loads. What’s more, this effect is sustainable for up to six hours after use!

The unique formulation is also gentle enough to be used daily as part of an individual’s regular oral health regime. An all-in-one product that not only protect one’s teeth, but also overall health as well!
