Some studies show it can kill bacteria but it depends on the study as well as who funded the study. As well listening uses synthetic essential “ oils” which as we know are not effective nearly as well as true essential oils. Eg. Thymol is not same as Thyme oil. Studies show essential oils very effective at kill rates and these oils need a dark bottle to prevent breakdown. Some studies listed by listerine quotes refers to essential oils studies but that misleads you into thinking it is their product. Also beware of alcohol content and oral cancer risk with exposure to alcohol over prolonged period of time. Great question. Dental Herb Company has best essential oils and kill rates.

Great questions because it has two big pieces: 1. Depending on the abrasion index of the toothpaste which is nowhere to be found on the tube (which it really should be), you should never leave an abrasive paste with index over 100 in your mouth. It can be detrimental especially if you are a grinder. It becomes like sandpaper destroying your teeth. 2. If the paste contains tarter or chemicals like whitening agent, that can be irritating to your soft tissues, which is also bad. A paste with CLO2 or another type of antibacterial is okay. It may actually be good. As well, a fluoride-containing paste has some beneficial effects as does xylitol-containing.
