Tartar is a crusty build-up that constantly forms on teeth. It traps stains and harbours germs that attack teeth and gums. Tartar forms when plaque that has not been removed hardens, and once formed can only be removed by a dentist. LISTERINE® Tartar Control fights tartar build-up by breaking down tartar-forming agents - even in the hard to reach places.

If left untreated, tartar can cause tooth cavities and eventually lead to early stages of gum disease such as gingivitis.

1. Brush twice a day after meals with Tartar Control LISTERINE® Antibacterial Fluoride Toothpaste. This will help to fight tartar build-up, reduce plaque, fight cavities, protect your gums, freshen your breath, and remove stains on your teeth.
2. Floss to remove bacteria that cling to the sides and gaps between the teeth.
3. Rinse and gargle 20ml of LISTERINE® Tartar Control for 30 seconds twice daily to fight tartar build up by up to 21% over brushing alone.¹
4. Visit your dentist regularly.
