Question 1

is it safe to use listerine after using the sensodyne pronamel gentle whitening toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can use it before or after.

Question 2

very good morning doctors. i have a dental question. are therabreath mouthwash and toothpaste helpful products for good oral hygiene? are they any better than crest, colgate, listerine, scope?

Accepted Answer

: All of these products, if used properly can result in good dental hygiene. I don’t believe that there are studies that show that anyone of them is better than any of the others. Good luck.

Question 3

will using listerine  immediately after brushing my teeth with rembrandt whitening toothpaste negate any of the whitening effects?

Accepted Answer

No, it shouldn't: Whitening toothpastes all work the same way in that they contain mild abrasive to help remove surface stains. They don't really whiten like oxidizing agents such as crest white strips or bleaching trays and gel that you can get from your dentist.

Question 4

could you have tolerance to listerine?

Accepted Answer

? Listerine: Tolerance? How do you mean. If you mean it is not as effective it may be that you need to see a dentist for a complete evaluation of your gums and supporting tissues to rule out gum disease. Get a check up and let us know.

Question 5

which listerine is best for cavities?

Accepted Answer

In what way ?: Listerine is a mouthwash, and it does not restore carious lesions. Brushing and flossing correctly is your best defense, and the mouthwash will help you keep them clean, reducing cavities. The mouthwash alone will not do the trick.

Question 6

is listerine bad for my septic system?

Accepted Answer

Insignificant: In the total amounts used. Soap and detergents are worse as they clog the openings for drainage.

Question 7

why does listerine leave a white film?

Accepted Answer

While film: After using an antiseptic mouth rinse like listerine, occasionally the alcohol can cause the buccal mucosal tissue to slough. May seem like it is peeling off the cheek. Switch to an alcohol free type of mouth rinse. Read the labels to make an educated choice.

Question 8

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 9

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 10

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.
