HOW TO HELP YOUR PATIENTS ADOPT BEST AT-HOME ORAL CARE PRACTICES
As a dental professional, you are your patients’ greatest ally in realizing better oral health, yet encouraging the formation of new habits can be challenging. However, by tapping into the insights that LISTERINE® has uncovered about patients, motivating change has never been easier.
Below are some bold facts which may help spark a conversation about mouthwash use:
PLAQUE
85% of patients know that removing plaque promotes good oral health, yet only half of those patients know that brushing and interdental cleaning reach 25% of the mouth’s surfaces.

By reaching virtually the whole mouth, the 4 essential oils in LISTERINE® Antiseptic penetrate the plaque biofilm to keep patients’ mouths cleaner and healthier than brushing and interdental cleaning alone.
