As best I can tell (And I tried hard before throwing in the towel):

I think Listerine is up here...

  Comments:
Was going to change xref kanji from 嗽薬 to うがい薬, but I'm 98% sure this should point at one of the mouthwashes instead, and not the medicated mouthwashes(薬). 

I've seen no products self-identify as 水歯磨き, but it does seem there is at least some colloquial use to mean "mouthwash".
