CB12 Chewing Gum & Oral Rinse are clinically formulated solutions designed to neutralise bad breath, protect oral freshness for up to 12 hours, and support complete daily oral hygiene. Known for its patented zinc and chlorhexidine technology, CB12 works by targeting the root causes of malodour rather than masking it. Explore the full range within Welzo’s Mouth Care Essentials, Mouthwash Collection and Oral Health Care categories.
What Is CB12? (Bad Breath Treatment & Advanced Oral Rinse Technology)
CB12 is an evidence-based oral-care system created to counteract volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs)—the chemical gases responsible for unpleasant breath. Unlike standard mint mouthwashes that provide short masking effects, CB12’s zinc + chlorhexidine formula binds and neutralises sulphur gases at their source, delivering long-lasting freshness and antimicrobial support.
Benefits & Features of the CB12 Chewing Gum and Oral Rinse Range
-
Clinically proven 12-hour protection: Patented formulation neutralises malodour long-term.
-
Dual-action technology: Zinc acetate targets VSCs, while chlorhexidine prevents their re-formation.
-
Strengthens overall oral hygiene: Helps maintain a clean oral microbiome between brushing.
-
Perfect for travel, social events and daily freshness: The gum is discreet and fast-acting.
-
Suitable for people with dry mouth, stress-induced odour or dietary triggers: Coffee, garlic and high-protein diets often increase VSC production.
Why CB12 Is Important for Oral Health & Breath Neutralisation
Bad breath is often caused by anaerobic bacteria breaking down protein debris on the tongue, gums and throat. This releases sulphur-based gases that traditional mouthwashes cannot fully neutralise. CB12 uniquely targets these molecules, giving users reliable, long-lasting confidence. It pairs well with daily routines such as tongue-scraping, fluoride toothpaste and medicated mouthwash within our Mouth Care selection.
How to Use CB12 Chewing Gum & Oral Rinse for Best Results
- Use CB12 Oral Rinse each morning for all-day freshness; rinse for 30–60 seconds.
- Carry CB12 chewing gum for rapid, on-the-go breath control after meals, travel or long meetings.
- Maintain normal brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice daily.
- For persistent halitosis, combine CB12 with a tongue cleaner to reduce bacterial load.

Expert Insight & Evidence-Based Information
Studies on zinc-chlorhexidine combinations have shown measurable reductions in VSC levels for up to 12 hours compared with standard mouthwashes. Chlorhexidine disrupts sulphur-producing bacteria, while zinc binds sulphur compounds directly—resulting in a synergistic effect. Many dental clinicians recommend targeted VSC-neutralising products for individuals experiencing chronic halitosis, dry mouth or post-illness oral imbalance.

CB12 FAQs
Does CB12 really work for 12 hours?
Yes. The patented zinc-chlorhexidine formula has been clinically validated to neutralise VSCs for up to 12 hours with a single rinse.
Can I use CB12 every day?
Daily use is recommended for people with halitosis, dry mouth or high-protein diets that increase sulphur compound production.
Does CB12 whitening damage enamel?
No. CB12 Whitening is formulated with non-abrasive agents and is safe for enamel when used as directed.
Is CB12 suitable for dry-mouth sufferers?
Yes. It is alcohol-free and often recommended alongside dry-mouth products in the Mouth Care range.
Why is CB12 better than regular mouthwash?
Most mouthwashes mask odour with mint; CB12 neutralises sulphur molecules at a chemical level, providing longer relief.
Can I use CB12 chewing gum instead of the rinse?
The gum offers quick freshness but is designed to complement—not replace—the long-lasting oral rinse.
Can CB12 help tongue-coating-related bad breath?
Yes, but using a tongue scraper enhances results. CB12 reduces bacteria and VSCs produced on the tongue surface.
Is CB12 safe for orthodontic patients?
Yes. It can be used alongside braces or aligners without affecting adhesives.
Can I use CB12 after dental procedures?
Usually yes, but users should follow instructions from their dentist, especially after periodontal treatments.
Does CB12 treat gum disease?
CB12 is not a gum-disease treatment, but by reducing harmful bacteria and supporting oral hygiene, it may help maintain a healthier oral environment.
