Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Should I use mouthwash?
A: Listerine is a great adjunct to brushing and flossing. However, it has a lot of alcohol. People with a dry mouth or those avoiding alcohol in their diet should not use Listerine. Alcohol based mouthwashes may cause irritation, dehydration of the oral tissues and may reduce salivary flow, and actually increase oral malodor. There are alcohol-free mouthwashes available, such as Breath Rx (available at our office) or OTC brands.
