I'm a big fan of Listerine. My dentists have always recommended Listerine. I don't know anyone who uses Scope.

If you want to know which is better, here's an expert's opinion:

"Unlike Scope, Listerine has the ADA's approval, meaning it is a trusted product that delivers what it promises, to kill bad breath germs, plaque, and the gum disease gingivitis. Scope contains glycerin which can deprive your mouth of saliva, a natural antiseptic for killing germs in your mouth. Additionally the main ingredient in Scope may be not as effective as thought. Cetylpyridinium chloride, the main ingredient, may not be as effective when mixed with saliva in the mouth or combined with other oral health products.

"Listerine has been my choice of mouth was for years now, not just because of its brand name, but the product behind the name. Over a 100 years as a trusted name in oral care and an ADA approval makes Listerine a sure bet that you're getting a quality product.
