I've been using the whitening pre-brush rinse that listerene makes, as I was concerned about the dye in others staining my teeth. Does Listerene, or other mouthwash, run a risk of damaging your enamel when used prolonged periods of time at the recommended twice a day?
Do you know any other useful facts regarding mouthwash that others may not be aware of?

HELLO,
FYI THE CONTENTS OF LISTERINE HAS NO EFFECT ON ENAMEL, BUT THE HIGH CONTENT OF ALCOHOL, HIGHEST IN THE GOLD ORIGINAL FORMULA, CAN HAVE A DELETERIOUS EFFECT ON THE ORAL MUCOSA, OR TISSUES OF THE MOUTH. THE ALCOHOL TENDS TO DRY OUT THE ORAL TISSUES.

Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.

I'm not tooo sure abt it. However, there are many ways that you can whiten your teeth.
Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!
For home remedies.
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.
Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.
Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.
Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.
If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you!

My tooth have been particularly crooked. I have been given braces while i became 20. I had to have them on for 2 and a a million/2 years. I had the two suitable and backside braces. I had no coverage on the time so I had to pay $4000 for the braces. the only way that braces might have a damaging result on your tooth would be in case you do no longer shop on with the learning given to you by way of your orthodontist. sturdy success! in case you have the different questions be at liberty to e mail me.

No, Listerine is great for your mouth! It kills bacteria. Use it every morning and every night. Better than any other mouthwash.

HONESTLY, ALL MOUTH WASH DOES IS FRESHEN YOUR BREATH. IF YOU WANT TO BUILD- UP OR PROTECT YOUR ENAMAL ON YOUR TEETH GO TO YOUR DENTIST AND ASK FOR A SCRIPT OF FLORADEX IT IS A TOOTHPASTE HIGHLY CONCENTRATED. A SMALL AMOUNT GOES A LONG WAY.
