should you use mouthwash before or after brushing?

Answer 1

You should use it after because it needs to sit on your teeth for awhile after you spit it out, and if you brush you will brush it off completely. It doesn't do it's main work while you swish, it does it after. Also, if you used it before, it wouldn't come into contact with your teeth wherever you had plaque.

Answer 2

After because some bottles explain how the mouthwash removes the left over plaque and stuff that your toothbrush didnt get!so there isnt any use in using mouthwash and then use a toothbrush that has been used many times before so ther maybe minature particles of plaque and replacing it all in your mouth!

after - otherwise you'll brush the goodness of the mouthwash away
