The only thing you do not mention is flossing. Bacteria breed between teeth.

If you still have bad breath even after brushing your teeth 3 times a day and flossing, using Listerine mouthwash, removing all the white off your tongue, getting your cleaning every 6 months, and you have no cavities, there is a possibility that you have a postnasal infection.

What is the chemical reaction for Listerine mouthwash?

Listerine mouthwash contains several active ingredients, including essential oils (like eucalyptol and thymol) and alcohol, which help to kill bacteria and freshen breath. The primary reaction in Listerine involves the antimicrobial action of these ingredients against bacteria in the oral cavity, rather than a specific chemical reaction. When used, the alcohol and oils disrupt bacterial cell membranes, leading to cell death and a reduction in oral pathogens. There isn’t a singular chemical equation for the entire mouthwash, as it comprises multiple compounds and their interactions.


Is it best to brush teeth before using mouthwash?

Mouthwash is not a substitute for tooth brushing. Everyone should brush his or her teeth at least twice daily, and floss once daily. This is the minimum frequency necessary to prevent plaque build-up, and the cavities that can result. Mouthwash is used, not to prevent cavities, but to prevent bad breath. Since you're going to brush and floss, and you want to use mouthwash, it makes more sense to use the mouthwash after brushing and flossing, rather than before, since brushing and flossing stirs up bacteria and other malodorous debris.

Can Listerine kill THC in the cheeks?

Listerine is primarily designed to kill bacteria and freshen breath, but it is not effective at eliminating THC from the cheeks or oral mucosa. THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, binds to receptors in the body and is not simply washed away by mouthwash. While Listerine may mask the odor of cannabis, it does not neutralize or eliminate THC itself. For any concerns regarding THC detection or use, it's best to consult with a professional.
