Kill Mouth Bacteria

Giving Total Care for the mouth

Dubbed the 6-Benefits-in-1 mouthwash, Listerine Total Care simultaneously destroys oral bacteria to prevent oral problems, strengthens teeth, maintains healthy gums, reduces plaque, freshens breath, and prevents tartar build-up to keep teeth naturally white.

According to managing director Joyce Lee of Johnson & Johnson Sdn Bhd, which markets and distributes Listerine products in Malaysia, the brand’s latest sheer purple-coloured variant represents Listerine’s most advanced and complete mouthwash.

She said at a recent oral health forum, titled Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body, chaired by Malaysian Dental Association president Datuk Dr How Kim Chuan, a full consensus was reached to define a healthy mouth as one without visible plaque, is tartar-free, has no cavity, has healthy gums and soft tissue and healthy natural teeth, and fresh breath.

The all-new Listerine Total Care’s formulation can achieve these six key signs, pointed out Lee.

The new product can kill up to 99.9% of oral bacteria and germs to maintain cleaner and healthier gums and teeth.

It also has fluoride to strengthen teeth and zinc chloride to reduce plaque build-up and keep teeth naturally white.

Dr How, meanwhile, emphasised the importance of observing good oral health to achieve overall health.

He said: "The mouth is filled with countless bacteria which is believed to be closely linked to tooth decay and periodontal or gum disease.

"Researchers have found that periodontitis, or the advanced form of periodontal disease, has a high correlation with systemic health diseases such as cardiovascular disease and bacterial pneumonia."

Unlike brushing alone which reaches only 23% of your mouth, rinsing with Listerine twice a day cleans the whole mouth by getting to those hard-to-reach areas missed with the toothbrush.

In conjunction with the launch of the new mouthwash, Listerine Total Care is having the Purple Movie Mania, today only.

Movie-goers dressed in purple-coloured outfits can get a pair of free tickets when they turn up to watch a movie at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Screen Cinemas. A total of 600 tickets are up for grabs.

Lung 2011 Claims - Ideal Tips On How To Overcome Bad Breath ...

Bad breath treatments aren’t something most people talk about.  You don’t want to admit that you have bad breath, and it can be awkward to tell someone else that they have this particular problem.  Lucky for you, you can read about bad breath treatments instead of having to talk to anyone about them.

Where Is Your Bad Breath Coming From?

If you want to get rid of bad breath, you need to know where it comes from. Believe it or not, the main source of bad breath usually comes from the mouth.

More importantly, it comes from the bacteria that live in your mouth.  Bacteria break down proteins and bad breath is the result.  To treat most cases of bad breath, you need to kill these bad bacteria and remove them from your mouth.  If they aren’t there to give you bad breath then you won’t have bad breath.

Now it is important to note that some foods have strong smells.  If any bits or pieces of these foods remain in your mouth then you could have bad breath even before bad bacteria make their contribution.  Of course, bad breath from these sources doesn’t require treatment.  You just avoid the foods or take extra care to clean your mouth thoroughly when you do eat them.

Do You Know If You Have Bad Breath?

Before going on to the actual treatment of bad breath , how do you know if you have it?  If you brush and floss every day, can you be assured that you don’t have bad breath?  Are you willing to take that risk?  The truth is that people cannot smell their own bad breath which makes it a problem that you can’t always be aware of until you’ve already made a bad impression.

So, how do you treat bad breath?

To treat bad breath, you must first get rid of bad bacteria. Bad bacteria are the primary causes of bad breath. The OraMD 4-Step Oral Hygiene Program can help you overcome such condition. This system normally begins with brushing and flossing to clean food particles and to remove plaque from your mouth. Then the mouthwash and topical application steps work to kill off bad bacteria and thus remove the causes of bad breath from your mouth.

Bad breath treatments have to treat the problem where it usually begins. A clean, healthy mouth leads to pleasant smelling breath. But in order to achieve a clean and fresh breath, you just need to choose whether to treat bad breath after you experience it or before you do.
