The study shows after 12 weeks, the addition of twice daily use of LISTERINE® Cool Mint Antiseptic Mouthwash after brushing and flossing:
Increases healthy mouth sites* by 3.3x
Reduces plaque by 35.5%
Reduces gingivitis by 49.5%
Reduces bleeding by 71.5%
Vs. Brushing and flossing alone.
The study’s findings support recommending a three-part oral hygiene regimen of brushing, flossing, and LISTERINE® Antiseptic Mouthwash to patients for optimal oral health.
