Listerine Cool Mint is the mouthwash most people picture when they think of the category, and it earns that familiarity. The essential-oil formula genuinely reduces plaque and gingivitis with twice-daily use, it is inexpensive, and it is stocked in every UAE pharmacy and supermarket. As a supplement to brushing and flossing, it works.
The sticking points are the sharp, burning sensation of the original formula, which many find harsh, and the fact that the classic version contains alcohol — something dentists often steer dry-mouth patients away from. Effective and cheap, but not the most comfortable option available.
