Is it me or does listerine NOT WORK for bad breath?

I hear that drinking a good amount of water can help against bad breath

1. first of all, floss
2. buy Listerine toothpaste and brush with that first -2 min.
3. get arm and hammer toothpaste and brush -2 min.
4. use 1/4 of the Listerine cap fill-up and mouth wash for 15 seconds
5. rinse mouth several times

6. brush your teeth after breakfast, lunch, dinner - each brush is 1 1/2 min.

7. repeat steps 1-5 before you go to sleep - you will have teeth and breath like Hollywood stars.

If anybody says that this is too much, think about these steps before you start making out with your girl friend of boy friend.

Brushing your teeth twice with two different toothpastes four times a day (as you suggest) is a surefire way to wear the enamel right off your teeth.

There IS such a thing as brushing your teeth too much.

LOL, OCD much?

Fossing once a day and brushing once or twice a day is plenty.

Though, you shouldn't be using abraisive toothpastes anyway, IMO...

When water is put through the cleaning system, at least in the United States, fine minerals are added to help your teeth grow stronger and fight against germs and diseases.

People will say this, it's stupid and too much. But to stay competitive with hygeine, means taking precautions. Believe it or not, people do more with their teeth than this. In fact, these are only the basics, you have no idea what high school students will put themselves through to get the "perfect" teeth like they see in magazines and in the media.
