SHARE THE FACTS. ELIMINATE THE EXCUSES
If your patients knew that brushing and flossing cleaned only 25% of their mouth, they'd realize why adding a 30-second rinse twice a day with LISTERINE® Antiseptic is so important.1
- Brushing and flossing disrupt plaque on teeth and gums, but teeth make up only 25% of the mouth1
- Bacteria displaced by brushing and flossing may recolonize other oral surfaces such as the tongue, cheeks, or roof of the mouth2,3
LISTERINE® Antiseptic helps finish the job!
Rinsing for just 30 seconds with 20 ml morning and night:
- Kills bacteria associated with plaque and gingivitis for a WHOLE MOUTH CLEAN™
- Penetrates plaque biofilm4
- Comparable bacterial kill vs PERIDEX®*
- Rinsing twice a day with LISTERINE® Antiseptic helps prevent the growth of mature biofilm5†
Not all mouthwashes are the same.
When you share the facts, you eliminate the excuses.
Recommend BRUSH, FLOSS & RINSE™ to help your
patients achieve better oral health.
