Of all the mouthwashes out there, Listerine is perhaps the most well known and most highly sold. The bottle with the green liquid and fresh, minty smell is recognizable all over the world, and the anti-bad breath properties are touted as being the best in dental hygiene and mouth care. Most people would be surprised to know, however, that Listerine mouthwash may actually be bad for your stinky breath. This article will explain the connection between Listerine mouthwash and bad breath, so that you can make a more informed decision.
Listerine mouthwash is comprised of several ingredients, all believed to take an active role in fighting bad breath, germs, and bacteria. Besides menthol (for the strong and fresh flavor), Listerine mouthwash contains thymol, methyl salicylate, eucalyptol, and ethanol. Together these ingredients form a potent antiseptic, or, an antimicrobial agent designed to sanitize by killing germs. Listerine was created by Dr. Joseph Lister as a surgical antiseptic, but soon after it was adapted for hygienic purposes.
The last ingredient on that list – ethanol – is the one we will talk about now. Ethanol is a form of alcohol, which is noted for its sterile properties. By including ethanol in the mouthwash, Listerine began the trend of incorporating alcohol for use in mouthwash in general. Now, most commercial mouthwashes have alcohol as a main ingredient. This, however, is what actually causes more bad breath. How?
Bad breath is basically caused by bacteria. Bacteria that cause bad breath form things called volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which are simply noxious compounds that put off a bad odor and cause the bad breath we despise. When your mouth is dry, the bacteria flourish. This is because your saliva normally cleans most of the bacteria; a dry mouth, however, does not have enough saliva to do this. Where does alcohol come into play? Simply put, alcohol dries your mouth.
Since Listerine has a relatively significant amount of alcohol in it, it tends to dry out the mouth of the person using it, like other commercial mouthwashes. So, while Listerine is effective at killing germs and combating gingivitis, it actually can make bad breath worse. Other mouthwashes can as well, but Listerine is by far the most popular brand. It is recommended that if you use Listerine, do so only in conjunction with brushing and flossing, and only use it sparingly. Also contemplate using an herbal mouthwash, like one with green tea or other natural substances that do not dry out your mouth. If you enjoy your Listerine mouthwash, by all means continue to use it. Just know that it may be playing a role in making your breath smell bad.
