LISTERINE
LISTERINE is an American brand of antiseptic mouthwash, known for the slogan “Kills germs that cause bad breath”. The brand name was inspired by Joseph Lister, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery, while the first Listerine formula was developed in 1879 by chemist Joseph Lawrence in St. Louis, Missouri.
LISTERINE products are intended as a daily addition to oral hygiene, together with tooth brushing and interdental cleaning. Mouthwash products help maintain fresh breath, oral hygiene, gum care and an additional feeling of cleanliness after brushing.
How to choose a LISTERINE product?
Mouthwash does not replace a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss or interdental brushes; it is used as an addition to oral hygiene. It is best to use it according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually after brushing, without swallowing the liquid. If you have frequent gum bleeding, pain, swelling, persistent bad breath or tooth sensitivity, a dental check-up is recommended.
