 The makers of LISTERINE® Antiseptic introduce "This Is Your Mouth," a new documentary narrated by award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris (CBS' How I Met Your Mother) that takes viewers on a journey inside the mouth and examines the potential effects of the millions of bacteria that dwell there.  We are thrilled that each viewing will benefit America's Toothfairy® in support of our goal to eliminate children's preventable suffering from pediatric dental disease...because every child deserves a healthy smile®.
