Mouthwash first or brush teeth first??


Question: Should you use mouthwash then brush, or vice versa? Professionals?
Answers: well think about the function of both of them.
i would brush before you mouthwash.
in restaurants you get the food and the big stuff of in the soapy water (brushing) and then you make sure the germs are gone by sanitizing(mouthwash)
I admit, I'm not a professional, but I do like to brush first to get any food particles out of my teeth, and then after rinsing with water, I rinse with mouthwash to get that extra clean feeling!
If you are using a tarter control mouth wash use it first. Regular mouth wash can be used anytime but most people use it last.
Mouthwash
then
brush
Not a professional: brush first, then floss, then I swirl Listerine.
Whilst I am not a professional, I would reason that brushing teeth would be a better choice before mouth-wash. After all, Brushing your teeth gets rid of the main plague and food stains on your teeth.

I view mouth-wash as a refinement, as it cleans up germs that brushing your teeth would miss between your gums and teeth.
Vice versa
brush then wash!
USE IT AFTER IT GET THE GERMS YOU LEAVE BEHIND.
Brush teeth first. You should use chlorophyll mouthwash, because Listerine, and those types of mouthwashes only kill bacteria short-term, in a way that makes them return plentifully.
Actually, you are supposed to floss, brush, then rinse. Or if you use the listerine whitning, then you do it in reverse because it is a pre-brush rinse
brush your teeth first
brush teeth, floss, and then mouth wash.
brush ur teeth frist thanx 3 da 2 points
I am not a professional but I can say.. without reservations.. that you brush first and then use mouthwash..
Brush to lossen and remove plaque and food than mouthwash to freshen and cleanse the lose stuff away.
brush first...
the mouth wash will get any of the bacteria left behind from the toothbrush.
mouthwash then brush. Mouthwash is like a pre-brush rinse (seen it on a listerine commercial)
brush then floss then use mouthwash
Brush first then rinse with the mouthwash
u def need to brush, then floss, then mouthwash
brush first!
I brush first and then I use mouthwash, though I don't use floss...I'm a baaaaaaad girl.
brush 1st, you clean your teeth and get all of the plaque off. After your done brushing you use wash to kill all of the grems you just brushed off your teeth.
Use PLAX mouthwash, it is seriously the best mouthwash ever.

You use it before brushing, and it loosens the plaque on your teeth so you get more of it off when you brush.

It is also not super-strong like Listerine. It does not have tons of alcohol in it and has a gentle mint flavor.
brush first....or else the mouthwash will just get brushed away
brush teeth first
mouthwash first
Why not mouthwash first and then last? Try it. It loosens up particles and then coats your mouth after you brush.
simply cleaning your teeth can be done in 2 steps
* mechanical by using your tooth brush & floss , this should be done first to remove as much bacteria & food debries as possible
* chemicaly by mouth washs, this kill the rest of bacteria, althougth some mouth washs have mechanical effect, yet they also should be used after brushing
I like the two answers above me from MistiMi and 7Mada. If you want to be a fanatic about it, rinse vigorously for 30 seconds before brushing. Even if you use plain water instead of Plax, Consumer Reports says that it loosens plaque. Follow this with at least 2 minutes of methodic brushing. Rinse with a mouthwash after brushing to get rid of anything still floating around in there.
