Is it safe to use a mouthwash like Listerine after you have lost a
dental filling?  I just lost one of my root canal fillings today. I
usually use Listerine everyday but I'm wondering what it will do to an
unprotected tooth.

In this case, it wouldn't hurt, I don't think. It is time you got a
crown or an onlay on that tooth.

Same thing it does the rest of your mouth.  Almost nothing.

What do you mean by that?  Listerine definately gets plaque off of my
teeth.  I have done experiments.  I let a little plaque grow on my
teeth and use Listerine to remove and it always works.  I could not
feel any plaque after using it for three minutes.

Your 'experiment' design leaves alot to be desired.

Gee, the truth must hurt.

Rinses do not remove a significant amount of plaque.  Sorry.
