Why Rinse – The Benefits of Mouthwash
Listerine is the next step to ensuring a 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 virtually 100%.*
The power of the swish 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 for 30 seconds twice daily.

Listerine Antiseptic Gives You a Whole Mouth Clean
With over 35 years of clinical support, Listerine is the world’s most clinically researched mouthwash brand*. Its bold tingle has been America’s favorite. Listerine Antiseptic is the key to getting your whole mouth clean. You’ll get 24-hour germ protection with twice daily usage, and clinically proven oral health benefits.
Listerine Antiseptic has the power to kill germs that lead to bad breath, plaque and gum disease, and 21% greater gingivitis reduction and greater reach than brushing and flossing alone. Listerine Antiseptic provides virtually 100% coverage on teeth, between teeth and along the gum line, and is the only nationally branded antimicrobial mouthwash to receive the ADA Seal of Acceptance for fighting plaque and gingivitis**.

How to Swish
What happens each time you swish properly? Research shows that antimicrobial Listerine mouthwash kills oral bacteria within 30 seconds for a difference you will notice with continued use. In fact, the bacteria in plaque and saliva samples were killed within 30 seconds of coming into contact with Listerine rinse. Don’t give germs a fighting chance. Swish the full 30 seconds to make sure you’re getting a truly clean mouth.
Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that is a precursor to the more serious gum disease called periodontitis. Gingivitis can be so mild, in fact, that you may not even recognize it.
Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of bacteria in our mouths, which combine into a sticky substance called plaque. Plaque infects and inflames the gums, developing into gingivitis. Symptoms may include redness and swelling of gums and bleeding while brushing.
How can you prevent gingivitis, and what are the benefits of mouthwash? The best way to prevent gingivitis is to maintain a healthy oral care routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing twice a day. Good oral care habits keep your mouth clean and healthy; remove plaque, maintain a healthy diet, and see your dentist at least once every six months.

Excellent mouthwash. The flavor is great. Soothes all gum pain due to antiseptic properties. Leaves mouth feeling very clean. Cap clicks into place for easy traveling without worry that it’ll open and make a mess. So grateful for this mouthwash.

Great product for getting that freshness in your breath. It is a bit strong in taste, however, is effective in killing my bad morning breath and the taste is great. I was surprised that the bottle was smaller than what I would normally get in the store, however it is a good value for the amount you get. Would highly recommend if you want something very strong and I sometimes use it to treat my gingivitis.

We recently purchased a water pik and have been adding a little listerine to it‘a tank. My gums were bleeding so bad when we got the water pik, which was shocking! I floss two times a day minimum, brush just as often.Using the listerine in combination with the water pik worked well. My gums no longer bleed! Yay! Listerine is amazing on it’s own. But everyone should invest in a water pik as well!

I haven’t used this in years, but wanted a new mouthwash as I didn’t like the one I was just finishing up. Went with the tried and tested good ol Listeeine and it’s exactly as I remembered it. Nice and fresh and strong. Happy with my purchase and glad Amazon carries it.

This mouthwash is great. I have used it for years now, and I always come back to it. It leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean, every time, and the taste is not too alcoholic. Although, even if it was, I wouldn’t mind because my main criteria for mouthwash is bacteria and germ control. I travel a lot for work, in remote areas and also construction, and sometimes I am out in the field for 16 hours straight without any access to a restroom and toothbrush. The only thing saving me is this thing. Whenever I go back to the dentist, I hear “no cavities since your last visit”.. and that’s how I know this thing works great.

I started using this product to combat a small case of gingivitis. Combined with better flossing and brushing techniques, it has improved! I will still continue to use this product in the future even after the inflammation has fully gone away because I love the taste so much. It makes your mouth feel really fresh.

I was having problems with my wisdom teeth that i don’t have enough money to remove. I felt like they were impacted and the bacteria was building up. I started swishing with lister one night and day and the pain in the back of my teeth and my sinuses stopped within a week of using twice daily. Not to mention a fresh and clean mouth

I bought 4 bottles of this Listerine. I hate to run out and not have my favorite brand on hand especially as my husband likes it too (and we use our own separate bottles). I like it over generic equivalents. It has been my go-to germ killing mouth wash for several years. Always a classic.Those confused by the size.. it isn’t a huge bottle. It says right in the product description that it is 500 ml which is a pint, which is 16.9 ounces.. which is just over two cups.. not sure how else to depict that it is a medium size bottle. Not tiny, not huge. Anyway, it is just as expected, it arrived quickly, and I enjoy.. “enjoy” (who really likes this stuff in terms of taste?) this flavor as much as any other (all same to me) and most importantly, it helps keep my mouth healthy.I swish for around 30 seconds.. sometimes more, sometimes less. No matter how often I use it, it always burns a little bit. It is doable. I won’t use anything else.. well, my dental hygienist has me using Listerine or as needed a prescription mouthwash. This is cheaper and no special trips to the pharmacy.
