Question 1

what happens if rinse with white tartar control pre-whitening rinse for too long?

Accepted Answer

Depends on...: What do you consider to be too long?
Typical rinsing for about 1minute, if you were to rinse for a very long time, possibly you could develop short term tooth sensitivity.   Do not swallow the rinse.

Question 2

why does tartar control toothpaste seem to make my mouth peel?

Accepted Answer

ODD: You may be alleric to an ingredient.  Most unusual.  Srtop using it and see a dentist. Something is not right.

Question 3

can you get drunk on listerine?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Not the same type of alcohol found at your local liquor store. Drinking listerine can easily put you in the hospital and may result in death.

Question 4

what can happen if you repeatedly swallow small amounts of listerine on accident?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Small amounts won't hurt.

Question 5

could listerine work on toenail fungi?

Accepted Answer

No: It would be ineffective. See your physician or a dermatologist for better options.

Question 6

can i use listerine on a toenail fungus?

Accepted Answer

Why waste mouthwash?: None of the home remedies or internet cures will kill the fungus responsible for the nail infection.  It takes strong "fungus killing" drugs or laser to get to the root of the problem.

Question 7

is it good to use listerine with dandruff?

Accepted Answer

Try head & shoulders: Have you gotten 30% alcohol in your eyes?  Keep the listerine in your mouth.  You can always try apple cider vinegar for your scalp.  Google it.

Question 8

is listerine any better than crest pro health?

Accepted Answer

Both similar: I would put both of them  in basically the same category.  Discuss with your own dentist whether you need them at all and if so which one he\she would recommend and why.

Question 9

which is better, listerine with or without alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Listerine w/alcohol: It depends-mouthwashes are antiseptic, many use 25-28% alcohol to give it the bite and zing when using. Some patients prefer a mouth rinse that is alcohol free. There are many on the market, suggest you use either the listerine alcohol free or the crest pro health brand. If your teeth are sensitive buy one that also contains fluoride. Use twice daily.

Question 10

could crest pro-health work just as well as listerine?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: To some degree it depends on what you are trying to fix.  Listerine has a very high alcohol content, as well as do many other mouth rinses.  This may cause certain problems...  Talk with your dentist or post another question with what problem you have.
