When using Listerine...?

Question: I am just wondering... after using Listerine, is it ok to rinse my mouth out with water to get the flavor of the Listerine out of my mouth or does this defeat the purpose of using Listerine?

Thanks,

Liz

Answers:
If you don't like the taste of Listerine, then don't use it.
It has an insignificant antibacterial effect on your dental health, despite all the glorious advertising.
It has been estimated that to have a beneficial effect, you would have to be using it 10x daily. Simple brushing and flossing is more than enough.

Yeah it totally defeats it. You should be swallowing it.
