Is Listerine good for your teeth?

If I brush my teeth alot of times with listerine during the day, is that bad?

  • I brush my teeth with purple listerine like 5 times aday or more, is that bad

  • Answer:

    Yes! Brushing too much, too hard, can erode your teeth, leaving them sensitive to hot, cold, and sweets. Brush after meals, and after you wake up and before you go to bed. Use Listerine as the instructions say: twice a day. Once in the morning and once before bed. Scrubbing your teeth and gums can lead to gum recession, and could lead to more serious problems. Gentle massage gums with brush at gum line and using a sweeping / flicking motion to clean your teeth without having irritation. Use Listerine with Flouride or antibacterial Listerine to help clean your teeth, but doen't use it 5 times a day!

yes, it could be. you have to be careful of too much brushing it can wear off the enamel on your teeth and make them more sensitive to hot and cold. 2 to 3 times a day is good enough for a clean mouth. Maybe try chewing gum like orbitz or something if you are concerned about bad breath. Good luck

Maybe but you should be more concerned about brushing too hard. You should brush with a soft to medium brissle brush. You don't want to wear away the enamel on your tooth. Maybe you can substitute and brush 3 times and rinse with mouth wash 2 times.
