I have been using Listerine mouth wash for the past few years when my dentist informed me of the fact that my gums were sensitive and in the beginning stages of gum disease. Usually I do not really like the flavors of Listerine, I thought that they were too strong. Then I came across Listerine vanilla mint. I love the taste of the vanilla mint flavor. I do not find that it is too strong for my taste buds. I actually now look forward to using Listerine vanilla mint to keep my gums healthy and clean.
