The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs Acceptance of Listerine Total Care Anticavity Mouthwash is based on its finding that the product is safe and has shown efficacy in helping to prevent tooth decay, when used as directed.

Ingredients like alcohol and menthol, which cause the burning sensation, are often found in mouthwash. Even though it's not usually a cause for concern, there are plenty of alternative mouthwashes that you can purchase if your mouthwash is painful to use.

Regular or excessive use of alcohol-based mouthwashes can dry out your mouth, which can lead to tooth sensitivity, bad breath, and even cavities. It can mask potential oral health issues. If you suffer from chronic halitosis (aka bad breath), you may be able to mask it with regular mouthwash use.

It is recommended that mouthwash be used no more than twice daily after brushing and flossing. It is not recommended to use an oral rinse if you have an open sore in your mouth. Dousing oral sores with fluoride and antiseptics can damage your oral health. Use your oral rinse only as directed.

Similarly, if you're wondering whether to use mouthwash before or after brushing, there is a general consensus that using it after brushing is more effective for your oral health. Anti-microbial properties of oral rinses can be diminished if you brush your teeth right after.

Is it okay to dilute Listerine with water? ›

Don't dilute the solution with water. Swish for a full 30 seconds (try counting to 30 in your head or using a stopwatch). Don't worry if you can't get to 30 seconds the first time – it gets easier each time you try. During rinsing, gargle in your mouth.

The typically recommended use for mouth rinse is twice in a 24-hour period after brushing your teeth. Even if you've had a particularly spicy or pungent lunch, you should stick to the recommended dosage. Using too much can result in mouth sores, inflamed oral tissue, decreased taste sensitivity and painful gums.

Several studies have suggested that patients who consistently use antiseptic mouth rinses have been shown to have elevated blood pressure. Other studies have shown that although blood pressure increase induced by antiseptic mouthwash use was small (2.3 mm Hg), it was still statistically significant.
