No, LISTERINE® does not cause oral cancer. Scientists have compiled an extensive body of clinical data that has found no evidence or correlation between alcohol-based mouthwashes, such as LISTERINE® and oral cancer, including seven original studies and four reviews – we explain the science below.
Are mouthwashes toxic?
The chemicals in mouthwash may include chlorhexidine gluconate, hydrogen peroxide, or methyl salicylate, which are all toxic to ingest. Ingesting these ingredients by drinking mouthwash can cause mouthwash overdose, liver failure, and gastrointestinal damage.
Is mouthwash safe to use everyday?
Mouthwash every day is also a great addition to your oral care routine. If used daily, it is a great way to freshen your breath and kill any harmful bacteria left over after flossing and brushing.
