Why Rinse - The Benefits of Mouthwash

Listerine is the final step to ensuring a noticeably healthier mouth. Focusing on good oral care habits, and sticking to them, includes regular visits to your dentist, and a daily regimen of brushing, flossing, and rinsing with Listerine. The truth is that brushing reaches 25% of your mouth. Listerine? cleans 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath and plaque.

The power of the rinse fights bad breath bacteria in your whole mouth, including on your teeth, tongue, and gums. Use Listerine mouthwash twice a day to reach its deep-clean effectiveness. After all, bad breath germs are in your mouth all day, every day, and rinsing twice a day provides 24-hour germ protection. For Listerine rinse to reach its full powerful potential, use as directed and rinse vigorously twice daily.

How to Swish

What happens each time you swish properly? Research shows that the combination of the four essential oils found in Listerine mouthwash creates an antimicrobial germ kill beyond brushing and flossing alone. In fact, a saliva sample containing the bacteria responsible for plaque formation was tested with a Listerine rinse and within 30 seconds it killed 99.9% of harmful bacteria found in the mouth. Don't give germs a fighting chance. Swish twice daily to help maintain a clean and healthy mouth.
