no mouthwash can physically remove the soft plaque which forms on the teeth. Brushing doesHealth Question & Answer

I've got the best answer. Teeth are made of a hard substance and that substance is made even stronger by materials like fluoride which are found in toothpaste. It is not only the removal of the germs (bacteria) that keeps your teeth strong, but the fluoride (which also kills germs). Fluoride is not in all types of listerine. I recommend Listerine for gum disease, but for preventing tooth decay, prescription strength fluoride toothpaste is the best.Health Question & Answer

You need to brush your teeth to get rid of plaque or bits of food that may be stuck on your teeth that listerine can't get rid of. If you don't brush your teeth you will notice plaque will start building up, especially in the back teeth. And I also think your breath will smell better if you brush and use listerine.
