How to Swish

What happens each time you swish properly? Research shows that antimicrobial Listerine mouthwash kills oral bacteria within 60 seconds for a difference you will notice with continued use.

Cavities: Prevent, Prevent, Prevent.

A cavity is a hole in a tooth that develops as a result of tooth decay over time. Tooth decay is a result of bacterial buildup on the tooth surface. The bacteria use sugars from foods or drinks to produce acid, which over time and left untreated, breaks down the surface of the tooth and creates a cavity. A cavity is permanent damage to the tooth and requires professional treatment to repair it with a filling.

The good news is that cavities are preventable. The best way to prevent a cavity 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.

Tartar, Gum Disease & Gingivitis – How Listerine Can Help

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 that you may not even recognize it.

Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of bacteria in our mouths that combine into a sticky substance – plaque. Plaque infects and inflames the gums, developing into gingivitis. Symptoms may include redness, swelling of gums and bleeding while brushing. If plaque is not removed, it will eventually harden and turn into tartar. Tartar is hard, crusty, and porous. It can be yellow or brownish in color and appears above and below the gum line.

How can you help prevent tartar buildup and prevent gingivitis? 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 6 months.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this get rid of onion and garlic breath
Answer:	Can not eat or sleep with it.
Question:	How do I know if its working
Answer:	Hello, Use the entire pen. 14 days consecutive whitening then take 14 days off and you may do another treatment if needed. Amazing results will follow :D
Question:	Can someone list the ingredients? Thanks
Answer:	They are not great as many reviews gave it a low star rating. Save your $$$$$
Question:	Is there a real difference in performance between Mild Mint and Icy Mint? A lot of the good reviews are for Mild Mint but I'd prefer Icy Mint flavor
Answer:	I tried this product and have lots of crowns and a bridge. I think it did a little bit to take the yellowish color out of those, but I can say, I was disappointed with the statement that it removes stains on both of those. I don't know how it would do on veneers or bonding, but did read that none of these whitening products really work on other than natural teeth. Diane

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the total alcohol content
Answer:	yes it does
Question:	Pack of
Answer:	You can, but if you do, you're wasting your money. There are cheaper Oral-B toothbrushes than the 8000 that have essentially the same features minus the Bluetooth and app. I've been using the Oral-B products for about 10 years, and other than those features, being black, and having a much better travel case, it's essentially the same toothbrush I bought over 10 years ago. Same brush heads, same buttons, same charger. The older ones come with a physical clock/timer, however, which you don't get with this model. That said, I'm really impressed with the app overall, minus one major gripe (it resets the the timer when you change modes!), and it's helping me to improve my oral care quite a lot. There's also a "Fun Zone" feature to help kids develop better brushing habits, though I've never used it and don't plan to.
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	It vibrates once every 30 seconds and 3 times at the 2 minute mark but it does not shut off. My routine is outer left(vibrate) inner left(vibrate) outer right(vibrate) then inner right(((vibrate)))
Question:	Ad says 6 but later amazon changed ad after placing order and send just one. Why
Answer:	I just received the Oral B 8000 and there are 2 ways to charge this unit:1. The included standing charger (white colored) does NOT support 220v/2240v - it states support for only 110-130v and 50-60Hz.2. There is a second way to charge this unit using the travel case. The travel case can be used with the included power adapter that is a half circle with 2 holes (the entire adapter cord is black colored - I initially missed it). So while the standing charger will not work internationally, the included travel case and included travel case power case adapter WILL support 220v/240v and can be used internationally with an adapter (no transformer needed).

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.

A Natural Whole Mouth Clean

Just 30 seconds of rinsing two times a day for a naturally bolder clean. That’s all it takes when you use Listerine Naturals Herbal Mint Antiseptic Mouthwash. It kills 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath, plaque, & gingivitis* for 24-hour protection with an equally effective 99% natural formula compared to Original Listerine Antiseptic.

With ingredients like menthol, methyl salicylate and no artificial sweeteners or dyes**, use this rinse for greater reach than brushing and flossing alone—with virtually 100% coverage on teeth, between teeth and along the gum line. Available in an herbal mint flavor.

*Study # FCLGBP0028, conducted in 2010. **Please refer to the list of ingredients.

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.

Gum Disease & Gingivitis – How Listerine Can Help

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this help with out issues like cavities or decay? Or is this just for breath
Answer:	Amazon has tip model 100-C
Question:	Where is the expiration date on this product found
Answer:	I don’t think so. Also I wouldn’t use “cordless” Waterpik because you can not adjust the water flow, it so strong it hurt my gum. I think the regular Waterpik is the best, you can adjust the water flow. Start with the lowest water flow and gradually increase. I’ve been using it for many years and I set water flow 4 out of 10.
Question:	Only want 1 bottle. These items are confusing because we either have to subscribe or they'll send (and charge for ) multiple bottles? I only want 1 bo
Answer:	this set does not work with the Water-Pix that I bought
Question:	Is it included alcohol
Answer:	No, these are not compatible with the Sonic-Fusion. The part numbers that you will want to look for are SFRB-2EW (White) and SFRB-2WB (Black).

Question:	Is this a pre brush rinse
Answer:	I use it after brushing, or after having coffee. Of course you could pre-rinse with it if you wanted to!
Question:	Looks like the small size bottle and for the price that's double any local store can someone confirm this isn't a total ripoff please
Answer:	It's half the size of the standard Listerine bottle, in my area you'd be paying the same price for the 32oz. I've also bought the 32oz on amazon for the same price so this 16oz bottle is just a bad deal.

Whitening on Contact – How Listerine Can Help

Teeth are not naturally white. They are a pearly shade that, as we age, no matter how good your oral hygiene, gradually turns more yellow. As we get older, the outer layer of enamel on the teeth wears down and exposes the dentin layer of the teeth, which is more yellow. Over the years, tartar and wear-and-tear stains appear and can darken the color of teeth. If you smoke, have an illness or are on certain medications, your teeth may also darken.

When you don’t regularly brush, floss and rinse to reduce food particles, bacteria and debris from your mouth, these can turn into stain-making substances that darken the teeth. The best way to prevent hygiene-related stains on your teeth and whiten teeth safely is by brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing twice a day with a Listerine whitening rinse. If you stick to this daily healthy-mouth routine you not only avoid dark stains safely but also plaque buildup, tooth decay and cavities.
