There's not really a 'good' time to use mouthwash. Maybe an hour or more after a meal, if you're in a rush - but no sooner than that, as the tooth enamel will still be softened by the food.
- jayd16 1y agoEven with flouride mouthwash? You're saying the paste/gel is physically more capable of depositing flouride or something?
- IAmBroom 11mo agoFor whatever reason, (in the US) mouthwash contains far less fluoride than toothpaste. So, mouthwash before toothpaste. Or do as I do, and use mouthwash intermittently when in the bathroom, to boost the time there is fresh fluoride inhibiting bacteria on my teeth and gums. Most importantly, don't rinse after either - same idea.
