Which is better, listerine with or without alcohol?

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.

With: Unfortunately, the listerine without the alcohol base is not a very effective anti plaque or anti bad breath weapon.

That's a : Personal preference. Clinically the are both effective when used according to manufactures directions. Hope this helps.

It depends: The formula of listerine and alcohol free listerine are different. The regular listerine has the essential oils that have been proven to kill oral bacteria, and carries the ada seal. Some of the other versions are not the same and are not as effective. However the alcohol in listerine can make a dry mouth even worse and alcohol free mouthwashes are better for people with dry mouths.
