    Got our check for $38 and change yesterday, Sept 12. Thanks Topclassactions.com. Without this site, I would not even have known about it. The mouthwash was suggested by my dentist for my daughters dental problems. Bought lots of it.

    After seeing a commercial for this act mouthwash I purchased this product with the notion that after a few months i
    Would have decreased plaque buildup. The time passed and I noticed and realized this product was not claiming to do what it said it would. I found myself switching to Crest mouthwash after stopping using ACT and found myself with a dental appointment that was the worst I’ve had in years.
