First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tested whether using mouth rinses or chewing gum between morning and evening brushing can reduce plaque and improve breath. Twenty healthy adults tried five different products (like Listerine and Wrigley gum) on separate days, and researchers compared results to days with no product. The goal was to see if these products help keep teeth cleaner and breath fresher during the day.
