The power of the swish fights bad breath bacteria in your whole mouth, including on your teeth, tongue, and gums. Use Listerine mouthwash twice a day to reach its deep-clean effectiveness.

Gum Disease & Gingivitis – How Listerine Can Help

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that is a precursor to the more serious gum disease called periodontitis. Gingivitis can be so mild, in fact, that you may not even recognize it.

Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of bacteria in our mouths, which combine into a sticky substance called plaque. Plaque infects and inflames the gums, developing into gingivitis. Symptoms may include redness and swelling of gums and bleeding while brushing.

How can you prevent gingivitis, and what are the benefits of mouthwash? The best way to prevent gingivitis is to maintain a healthy oral care routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing twice a day. Good oral care habits keep your mouth clean and healthy; remove plaque, maintain a healthy diet, and see your dentist at least once every six months.

Healthy Gums Oral Rinse is a safe and effective treatment to fight bacteria and common symptoms of gum disease, which can also be related to diabetes. Dr. Katz’s Healthy Gums Oral Rinse is periodontist-formulated to help people living with gum disease. TheraBreath Healthy Gums Oral Rinse contains cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), an ingredient approved by the FDA and clinically proven to kill germs linked to gum disease and other periodontal problems, and adds a sweetener, xylitol (but NO saccharin), to neutralize the decay process.

Periodontitis can cause gums to pull away from the teeth, bone loss, and potentially even tooth loss. This 24-hour oral rinse is packed with Dr. Katz’s patented oxygenating compounds and added zinc compounds to fight bad breath germs with no mixing needed. This product is alcohol-free, which reduces irritation and the occurrence of inflamed and sensitive gums, it contains no artificial colors or flavors, and it is certified vegan, kosher, and gluten-free.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it contain fluoride
Answer:	From Google Search: - "There is no gluten used in the manufacturing of Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash Total Care, Smart Rinse and Ultraclean products. We cannot guarantee that cross-contamination with gluten has not occurred." "The Healthy White mouthwashes may or may not contain gluten. Dental Products and Gluten - Calgary Celiac Association
Question:	How long does it take for your gums to stop bleeding after start of use
Answer:	The answer in No and the reason maybe that ultraclean may have been recently launched in the market and to earn the ADA seal of approval the product has to have been marketed for 5 years. Other mouth wash like Listerine freshburst has the ADA seal.
Question:	Is this vegan
Answer:	Chlorhexidine is not listed under Active or Inactive ingredients. One Inactive ingredient is Zinc chloride, but that’s the closest thing named.
Question:	Is the polysorbate 80 used in this Healthy Gums product food grade? Hope to get an answer from seller or manufacturer
Answer:	The bottle says nothing about sensitivity. I would suggest getting one that says for sensitivity on the label.

User questions & answers

Question:	Difference beteweee this and clinical care mouthwash
Answer:	Do not rinse with water or drink/eat for 30 minutes after. That will remove the fluoride the benefits greatly reduced.
Question:	Do you only recieve one bottle for
Answer:	My kids have never had a problem with the taste after using any toothpaste. I don't think it's like brushing your teeth than drinking orange juice.
Question:	Do I just spit it out, or should I rins ed with water after using this mouthwash
Answer:	Why does it matter? Water quality. As well as knowing if it is a US product. Amazon doesn’t always know where these products are from. This could be made in China for all we know & sold to look like the real product.
Question:	Why would a product used near one's teeth have yellow and green coloring in it? not to mention saccharin
Answer:	Children need to be able to swish and spit, so mouthwash for children is not recommended before the age of 6. Occasionally, younger children will be given medicinal mouthwash prescribed by a dentist. If you are on a municipal water supply, fluoride is already added to the water in levels determined to be safe by the EPA. Well water does not have Fluoride so you should consulate with your dentist or pediatrician or family physcian on the best way to make sure your child(ren) have the amount of fluoride they need to help prevent tooth decay.

Tartar, Gum Disease & Gingivitis – How Listerine Can Help

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that is a precursor to the more serious gum disease called periodontitis. Gingivitis can be so mild that you may not even recognize it.

Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of bacteria in our mouths that combine into a sticky substance – plaque. Plaque infects and inflames the gums, developing into gingivitis. Symptoms may include redness, swelling of gums and bleeding while brushing. If plaque is not removed, it will eventually harden and turn into tartar. Tartar is hard, crusty, and porous. It can be yellow or brownish in color and appears above and below the gum line.

How can you help prevent tartar buildup and prevent gingivitis? The best way to prevent gingivitis is to maintain a healthy oral care routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing twice a day. Good oral care habits keep your mouth clean and healthy; remove plaque, maintain a healthy diet, and see your dentist at least once every 6 months.
