What do you do after rinsing with Listerine?

[mooncancook]

Just wondering if swallowing any residue in your mouth would be harmful if one uses Listerine daily.

 

[leftyman]

alcoholics swear by it

 

[monk3y]

I don't rinse after... and I'm still doing ok.

 

[PHiuR]

i chase it with the cheapest vodka i can buy.

 

[mooncancook]

just noticed it contain 21% alcohol... is that drinking alcohol or anticeptic rubbing alcohol?

 

[Kelemvor]

i spit out a few times until my salivary glands settle down. I pour water over my tongue but don't rinse out my whole mouth

I believe it contains ethyl alcohol, not isopropyl...

i like the grape flavored listerine..

DDS here. U should spit the listerine out and then rinse with water. The one u just spit out is the fluoride rinse. There, end of subject.

I dunno about you people, but I brush my teeth after rinsing.

No way. Brush then rinse.

The bottle says not to rinse doesn't it? If you leave it in your mouth it will keep killing bacteria. I rinse because it tastes bad.

It should be the other way around!

1) Floss
2) Listerine
3) Brush

Vodka+food coloring+listerine bottle=WIN! (#104)

 

[Jon855]

I listerine and then brush and then listerine [FTW]

 

[johnjbruin]

I don't feel as clean if i rinse before brushing. somehow i think it's not as effective when teeth are covered with a layer of ... hmm... whatever it's called

no it is not harmful to swallow a bit of it, and if you rinse with water afterwards you kinda defeat the purpose.

 

[neutralizer]

Floss, brush, listerine.

well a bit daily can add up, but i'm also wondering if rinsing with water afterwards will defeat the purpose. but if all the germ killing takes place during the 30 sec rinsing then rinsing with water afterward shouldn't have negative effect...

I don't rinse, and it doesn't burn.

What's stronge than Listerene?
