A member asked:
Can leaving a soaked listerine item in my mouth for too long cause any damage?

Irritation: It can cause irritation. It's best to follow the directions on the bottle and only rinse for 30 seconds at a time.

Probably not!: What kind of item are you talking about, a mouth guard or a partial denture or orthodontic appliance? We generally recommend that effervescent cleansers be used to soak oral appliances after scrubbing with soap and water. It is possible that the pigment from a listerine preparation might discolor your appliance. Neil mcleod dds dentistry that lasts - quality that counts.
