Stannous Fluoride in Mouthwash

Regarding the use of Stannous Fluoride in water-based products like mouthwash, the information indicates that Stannous Fluoride becomes active immediately upon dissolving in water. For this reason, formulations using Stannous Fluoride are typically designed to be water-free.

Using Stannous Fluoride in a water-based mouthwash means it would become active prematurely in the bottle, which could potentially impact the stability and effectiveness of the product over its shelf life before it is used.

Other fluoride compounds, such as Sodium Fluoride and Sodium Monofluorophosphate, are soluble in water and are commonly used in water-based oral care products like mouthwash.
