listerine mouthwash.

Love the story of Listerine.

Apparently they found it useful for mouth hygiene but needed a reason for it to become marketable. Cue the birth of smelly breath, a really strong advertising campaign and they've never looked back.

I like it, and it works.

This burnt when I started to use it, after a week or so it is fine though, unless you have a very dirty mouth anyway...

Corsodyl > Listerine? for gum disease etc.

True, but using Corsodyl for extended periods will stain your teeth. Ask your dentist.

I might have to go back to Listerene.

I think you need to stop drinking it and see someone.

Use non-alcohol based ones. Milder and safer. Listerine do have one.

Alcohol in mouthwash does nothing other than give the impression it's working by burning your mouth.

Be a man, swill with pure ethanol. Swill > Spit while igniting with flame. 99.99% dead, inside mouth - and out.

I love Listerine.

Sp00n · 23 Feb 2011 at 09:14

I hate it, nasty stuff and my dentist says don't use it.

This is exactly the case. My dentist confirmed it a few weeks ago, no-one actually needs mouthwash. Just don't wash the bloody toothpaste out of your mouth after brushing.

Theophany · 23 Feb 2011 at 10:26

It's not clean unless it's Listerine. That stuff just burns out the bacteria, feels great and like my mouth is surgically clean afterwards.

Besides, with the volume of alcohol I consume on a weekly basis and the fact that I am a smoker, the whole oral cancer argument becomes moot.

It's a bit strange to hear conflicting opinions, because a year or so ago my dentist actually reccomended I use it.

PK!

I can only say that you were given bad advice then.
