Listerine

Is it safe to use Listerine strips while pregnant? I have the invisaline braces and can't chew gum or mints so I use the breath strips. Just wondering if it's ok?

    Uhhh.... pretty sure.  I would not call your Dr about this.  But if you really wanted to know bring it up at your next appointment.

    As long as you're not downing a bottle of Listerine...you'll be fine. Even rinsing with mouthwash is fine. The trace amounts of alcohol found in one swish of mouthwash is minimal. If you're worried about mouthwash, get one without alcohol. But the strips are fine.
