Do you brush or mouthwash first

Which mouthwash can be used before brushing? Which should come first, the brush or the Floss? Is mouthwash better than brushing with toothpaste?

The answer to this question can depend on the type of mouthwash or toothpaste you decide to use. If your mouthwash contains fluoride, it is suitable to rinse directly after flossing and brushing your teeth. It will leave your mouth clean and fresh and allows the fluoride more time to protect the teeth.

It applies to all types of mouthwash. Rinsing your mouth straight after brushing your teeth will wash away the concentrated fluoride (left by the toothpaste) on your teeth. Don’t use it for more than weeks. While it may be temping to freshen up with mouthwash before you brush or floss , generally it is better to finish with mouthwash rather than start with it. The reason has to do with the two primary benefits of rinsing with mouthwash.

Brush your teeth with a low-abrasive, fluoride toothpaste. After you are done spit out the toothpaste and do not rinse out your mouth with any water. This will leave a thin coating of toothpaste on the surfaces of your teeth that will help fluoridate your enamel.

The choice is pretty simple: you can brush first and risk jamming food bits between your teeth and below your gum line, or you can use water and cheek power to create a tidal wave that will flush bacteria-laden bits out of your mouth and down the drain.

Dentists will recommend different things, and there are arguments for both. For those who recommend to brush first , floss secon the argument is that brushing helps loosen up places where there’s buildup, making it easier to floss and fit the floss around teeth. Get up in the morning feeling like pDiddyy Then I brush my teeth.

You made me think because I thought everyone did it the way I do it. 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. Do you brush your teeth or use mouthwash first ? Also, for many of us brushing our teeth is probably something we take very little time to do.

Should You Floss Before You Brush? The short answer is yes – first floss, then brush. The number one reason why is to allow your toothpaste to get in between your teeth, and into the pockets better. Brushing our teeth is one of those routine things we do without thinking much about it. However some people wonder though if they should brush their teeth first or use mouthwash first.

Both are equally effective. You brush first , then the mouthwash kinda finishes off the dirt that brushing alone has failed to eliminate. But I think thorough brushing would still finish that job.

Everyone should brush his or her teeth at least twice daily, and floss once daily. Mouthwash just complements brushing. This is the minimum frequency necessary to prevent plaque build-up, and the cavities that can result.

But wait an hour after each meal: brushing too soon can cause damage to the enamel of your teeth.

So FIRST brush , THEN mouthwash. Always brush with fluoride toothpaste (any brand) and use mouthwash after. First brush , then mouthwash to freshen breath. Brushing without flossing can result in cavities, gum disease, and even heart disease. So, whether you brush first or floss first is your preference!

I recommend that you stick with whatever works for you so that you stay in the habit of always brushing and flossing. The second reason to brush first is to clean the biggest surfaces, the teeth and along the gum line, first. Whether you’re focus is on disrupting bad bugs, removing plaque from teeth, or stimulating gum tissue, taking care of this important step first makes sense.
