Listerine Advanced Defence Gum Treatment Mouthwash - 500ml

Listerine Advanced Defence Gum Treatment Mouthwash 500ml is a clinically proven therapeutic oral rinse designed to help treat gum disease (gingivitis) and support overall gum health. Its specialised formula creates an invisible protective shield that helps prevent plaque-causing bacteria from attaching to teeth and gums, allowing gums to begin to repair and return to a healthier state. When used as part of your daily oral care routine, this mouthwash can reduce signs of gum bleeding and inflammation, contributing to stronger, fresher-feeling gums.

This mouthwash is formulated with Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate (LAE), an antibacterial ingredient shown to help disrupt plaque and support gum healing.
