DioxiCare
What Is the DioxiCare® System?
The DioxiCare® System is a professional-grade two-part oral hygiene solution consisting of a medicated mouth rinse and toothpaste. These products work together to deactivate bad breath–causing bacteria and neutralize the volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) responsible for chronic halitosis.
Unlike conventional chlorine dioxide formulas, DioxiCare® uses a proprietary activation method that generates chlorine dioxide gas at the moment of use. The gas is captured in a liquid or gel at precise concentrations, creating an immediately effective formula. Traditional systems often require strong acidity and long reaction times, but the DioxiCare® two-part design produces active chlorine dioxide instantly at an acidity level safe for oral tissues.
This process creates a highly effective chlorous acid/chlorine dioxide complex. One unique feature of DioxiRinse™ is its adjustable strength — a capability rarely found in oral care products. In clinical evaluations, both DioxiRinse™ and DioxiBrite™ toothpaste worked significantly faster than other halitosis products, reducing bacteria and odor compounds up to three times more effectively.

The Key Ingredient: Active Chlorine Dioxide
The active ingredient in the DioxiCare® System is chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), a gas with powerful oxidizing properties. As an oxidizer, ClO₂ eliminates odors and destroys harmful bacteria linked to gum disease and halitosis by breaking down their cell walls.
Many over-the-counter products marketed as “stabilized chlorine dioxide” are misleading. These products contain only trace amounts of actual ClO₂ and instead use stabilized chlorite — a much weaker oxidizer. Stabilized chlorite must be combined with strong acids or chlorine to produce meaningful concentrations of chlorine dioxide.
In contrast, DioxiCare® generates active chlorine dioxide on demand by mixing two components at the time of use, delivering stronger and more consistent results.
DioxiRinse™: The Medicated Oral Rinse
DioxiRinse™ is a two-part system that produces a blend of potent oxidants, including active chlorine dioxide. This formula neutralizes halitosis-causing bacteria, eliminates VSCs, and helps deactivate fungi and viruses — making it ideal for patients experiencing chronic halitosis, dry mouth, or persistent bacterial buildup.
Unlike many products that claim to contain chlorine dioxide but deliver only minimal levels, DioxiRinse™ consistently demonstrates the highest active concentration in lab studies. It penetrates deep into the gumline, the crevices of the tongue, and other areas where odor-causing anaerobic bacteria live — similar to the areas examined in our article on tongue bacteria and bad breath.
Despite its strength, DioxiRinse™ does not impair taste — a common issue with many medicated oral rinses.
DioxiBrite™: Advanced Two-Part Toothpaste
DioxiBrite™ toothpaste uses the same two-part activation system as DioxiRinse™, producing a dual-action formula that eliminates bacteria and neutralizes VSCs. The active chlorine dioxide reacts with the sticky polysaccharide coating that bacteria use to attach to surfaces in the mouth, reducing microbial colonization.
Unlike typical toothpaste that mostly cleans the tooth surface, DioxiBrite™ generates gas-phase chlorine dioxide that permeates deep into biofilm layers and hard-to-reach areas where bad breath bacteria hide. Biofilm is notoriously resistant to most medications, but DioxiBrite™ helps break it apart, allowing active ingredients to reach and neutralize odor-causing bacteria.
The result is smoother teeth, a cleaner mouth, and consistently fresher breath*. Many patients also find it helpful for sensitive or irritated gums.

The DioxiCare® System is a two-part oral rinse and toothpaste designed to generate active chlorine dioxide on demand. This powerful oxidizing agent neutralizes volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and eliminates the bacteria responsible for chronic bad breath.
DioxiCare® deactivates odor-causing bacteria and neutralizes sulfur compounds that produce halitosis. Its active chlorine dioxide penetrates deep into the gumline, tongue surface, and other hard-to-reach areas where anaerobic bacteria thrive.
Most mouthwashes only mask odors temporarily. DioxiCare® generates active chlorine dioxide at the moment of use, delivering clinical-strength antibacterial and deodorizing effects that reduce halitosis at its source.
Yes. The two-part system creates active chlorine dioxide at a pH level safe for oral tissues. It is formulated for regular use and does not cause taste alteration, burning, or irritation like many alcohol-based products.
Yes. One of the unique features of DioxiRinse™ is that users can adjust its strength by changing the ratio of the two mixed parts, allowing for personalized control based on sensitivity and treatment needs.
Yes. Because dry mouth allows odor-causing bacteria to multiply, DioxiCare® helps reduce bacterial load and improve breath for patients with xerostomia. For better long-term results, pairing it with dry mouth management is recommended.
Absolutely. Active chlorine dioxide penetrates deep into tongue grooves and biofilm layers that brushing alone cannot reach, helping eliminate anaerobic bacteria commonly responsible for chronic bad breath.
Yes. DioxiBrite™ toothpaste helps break down oral biofilm, allowing active chlorine dioxide to reach bacteria hidden beneath. This makes it more effective than traditional toothpaste that only cleans surface-level debris.
Definitely. Dentists often recommend DioxiCare® as part of a comprehensive halitosis treatment plan. It enhances in-office care by reducing bacterial load and maintaining fresher breath between professional visits.
Many users notice fresher breath within minutes of using DioxiRinse™, with continued improvement over days of consistent use. For chronic halitosis, combining DioxiCare® with professional treatment produces the best long-term results.
