Why Use LISTERINE®
Clinical experiments have proven that: daily brushing, flossing and rinsing with LISTERINE® Mouthwash are more effective in reducing the formation of plaque than brushing alone.
Brushing and flossing disrupt the biofilm, which is a multispecies reservoir of bacteria that can cause periodontal disease. But since teeth only form about 25% of your mouth, these methods alone may not be adequate. The other 75% of your mouth, such as tongue, inner cheek and below the gum line usually receive little benefit from mechanical cleaning, furthermore the bacteria may resettle again in your mouth.
Here's where LISTERINE® comes in handy, with its powerful liquid formulation reaching virtually 100% of the mouth's surface to effectively penetrate the biolfim and kill germs that cause bad breath, plaque and gingivitis for a whole mouth clean!
