The importance of using mouthwash
Last Updated August 2021
Brushing just your teeth twice a day can leave plaque behind in your mouth.
LISTERINE® mouthwash reaches areas in your mouth that are normally not accessible to brushing, i.e. between the teeth and on the back of the tongue.
LISTERINE® mouthwash contains the 4 Essential Oils Eucalyptol, Menthol, Thymol & Methyl Salicylate which have been proven to penetrate and reduce plaque biofilms left behind after brushing.
LISTERINE® mouthwash not only reduces biofilms on your teeth (dental plaque), but also on your gums, tongue and the rest of your mouth (oral biofilm). By reaching virtually the whole mouth, LISTERINE® mouthwash reduces plaque growth and thereby decreases the risk for caries development.
Complete the clean with LISTERINE® mouthwash after brushing and flossing twice a day.
