Maintain Total Oral Health with Listerine As You Enjoy Mouth-Watering Delicacies

 

Malaysians love their food and the list is endless when it comes to the selection of local mouth-watering delicacies, some of which can be pungent-smelling or strong-tasting.  One of the most iconic local food is the durian, also known as the “King of Fruits”. This unique tropical fruit has a distinctive aroma and taste that is well-loved by many. However, despite our love for the majestic durian, there are some major problems it can cause to our mouth – the most common being bad breath, which is hard to remove right after a durian feast, even if you brush your teeth!
 While most Malaysians are brought up with the hygiene practice of brushing our teeth twice a day, the scientific truth is brushing alone cleanses only 25%* of our mouth! It is also not enough to keep the whole mouth clean because brushing misses the spaces between the teeth, as well as the areas below the gum line. As a result, bacteria pools on the tongue and insides of the cheeks, which over time, can lead to oral problems like bad breath, plaque and gum problems.
 

To remind Malaysians to keep their whole mouth clean as they continue to enjoy local delicacies like the durian, Listerine® is collaborating with Watsons Malaysia to run the Top Spenders Contest starting 25 May to 30 June 2021! Winners of this exciting contest will win a total of 105 kilos of durian and still be able to keep their breath fresh with the household mouthwash brand!
 
Stephen Tiu, Country Director, Consumer Health of Johnson & Johnson Malaysia and Singapore, shared, “Despite the smell that stays in our mouth for hours after consumption, we still do not hesitate to enjoy durian whenever it is in season. Listerine® is a daily mouthwash brand approved by Malaysian Dental Association (MDA), we encourage Malaysians to keep their whole mouth clean and their breath fresh constantly with Listerine®’s powerful oral defense that penetrates where conventional brushing cannot, effectively killing 99.9%** of germs in the mouth. At the same time, it helps to strengthen gums and teeth, as well as lessen the formation of plaque, so that we can continue to savour all the delicious food in Malaysia.”
