No. It will burn and will not help you heal.
No, Listerine is not good for mouth ulcers. Many of its ingredients will irritate mouth ulcers. Stick with warm salt water rinses or magic mouthwash is they are severe.
It might help, at least to keep the area clean. Just be sure to use Listerine with no alcohol in it or it may hurt incredibly. Considering, though, that most mouth ulcers are caused by viruses it might be better to see you dentist. Maybe he or she can prescribe something to help heal the ulcers. Or try Kanka-Cover to keep it covered and protected
Listerine can oftentimes be too harsh for mouth ulcers. Depending on what
type of mouth ulcer it is, you may be safer using warm salt water, a
topical ointment, or nothing at all.
Listerine is probably too harsh and will be painful if used with mouth ulcers. Try using a warm saltwater rinse a few times a day instead!
Listerine is not the best choice for mouth ulcers! Best dental treatment is to see an expert dentist so he can see and examine your tissue, and do a diagnosis prior to dental treatment. Best is not to have spicy food, and dose up on vitamin B, vitamin C, reduce stress and have sleep! warm salt water is also effective.
