Rinsing twice a day isn’t just a great way to keep your breath fresh. It’s the key to getting your whole mouth clean.
The truth is that brushing alone only reaches 25% of your mouth. The power of the swish fights bacteria in your whole mouth, – teeth and gums. But it should be used twice a day to reach its deep-clean effectiveness. After all, germs are in your mouth all day, every day, and one swish only protects you for 12 hours.
For LISTERINE® rinse to reach its full power potential, use as directed and swish and rinse vigorously for 30 seconds twice daily.
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. Swishing twice a day is the best way to protect your mouth, but even if you’re already experiencing symptoms of gum disease, there’s a LISTERINE® rinse for you.
