I use the kids ACT that my children also use and I have never had an issue with staining. Our dentist actually recommends their adult patience to use the Kids ACT.

Whoa, I thought it was supposed to make your teeth whiter!

OK, so here is another interesting issue, I had an allergic reaction, or just a reaction, to Aim mouthwash and a different toothpaste, both had scope in them. I thought I was doing the right thing, but then my lips started peeling and the corners of my mouth started cracking and getting all red(as if braces weren't enough to draw attention to my mouth...thank you...)

Soooo, Tom's does make a mouth wash. Also, I was told to just swish with peroxide, which I haven't done, but might start...Zylotol is supposed to be good too (Xylotol?)

How does mouthwash make your teeth brown? What the heck!

Listerine just came out with an Alchohol free version and i'm wondering if anyone has tried it? Or if it would stain? I'm pretty sure the Crest mouth wash has really been staining my teeth.

I just posted gargling with peroxide (50/50 with water) and it works great ! I can't find a mouthwash that doesn't eat up my lips...that Crest stuff is awful...anyhoo, if you google natural mouthwash you will get all kinds of advice, all using peroxide,salt, or baking soda. You can make your own!

Tom's has a mouthwash that I haven't tried yet...I don't think it has floride in it.
