In your opinion, or knowledge, is the non stinging, blue mouth turning Crest mouth wash in the same ball park of effectiveness as Listerine?
Thank you in advance for your comments.  |

Have never tried Crest but Listerine is the business, it practically takes your mouth off!! 
When I was in the States we got Publix's own brand of Listerine which was identical, even said so on the back.
I think it was about $2 for a huge bottle, well worth it!! |

Listerine has a new flavor out--Vanilla Mint. It doesn't have that awful mediciny taste and after-taste the regular Listerine has, but it still has the same great effectiveness. I highly recommend it!
[I haven't tried the Crest, so I can't compare.] |

| I have always used listerine but I recently got the crest stuff at costco and I love it. I can leave it in a lot longer so I think it actually works better than the listerine, and no pain! |

| I'm not really a fan of the Crest stuff. It seemed like after I used it, I had all these blue particles left over in my mouth which I then had to rinse out. Pain. I like the vanilla mint listerine, though. Actually, they already have a store brand of the flavor, so I got a big jug of that for under $2. |

Hi there!
I would recommend a non alcoholic mouthwash. The alcohol and sugar disrupts the bacterial balance in the mouth and creates more germs. Here's a study:

My dentist reccomends getting one with Xylitol in it.

I second that. Listerine is strong stuff. I tried it once and never went back. I usually use Scope Smooth Mint (it speeds up the healing of canker sores). |

I got some free mouthwash from Britesmile as part of a kit when I got my teeth cleaned there. I think it was non-alcoholic.
I am sure it's all very medically good, but I just couldn't use it. It didn't *feel* fresh.
Saying that, I don't have a massive mouthwash thing. I am phobic about cleaning my teeth, 3- 4 times most days and I like doing them really thoroughly (I am a bit OCD I think ). But in the morning, after brushing my teeth and my tongue (with my special tongue cleaner, it's cool!!) I just rinse my toothbrush then douse it in mouthwash and then brush again. Lovely |
