Poll: Mouthwash before or after brushing?

[BFG10K]

Your preference?

 

[Carson Dyle]

Mouthwash? Why????

Poll: Floss before or after brushing?

 

[Nashemon]

Brush, floss, mouthwash, repeat.

 

[DietDrThunder]

floss, waterpik, brush, mouthwash.

 

[dullard]

Do you want the mouthwash to reach your teeth or your food on your teeth?

 

[snoopy7548]

I've read you want to use mouthwash before since you're supposed to let the flouride from the toothpaste sit on your teeth, but my mouthwash contains flouride and I always do it after brussing. Floss, brush, mouthwash.

I remember for the longest time I would rinse my mouth after using mouthwash for some reason.

I finally analyzed what I was doing and it made no sense whatsoever. Why use mouthwash and then rinse it out? I now just spit it out.

Did the caveman brush?

Do animals brush?

I never have and still have half my teeth!

When I wake up I do it after, but before sleep I do it before.

Mouthwash first to loosen debris, floss, then brush, go fuck wife one more time.

This thread made me curious about the mouthwash that's been in my bathroom for a long time. I went and checked. Turns out the mouthwash expired in August of 2002.

So to answer the OP: Do I use mouthwash before or after brushing teeth? No, I do not.




Does mouthwash that expired over 15 years ago pose a health hazard?

 

[lxskllr]

Instead of. I seldom use mouthwash, but when I do, it's to freshen my mouth between brushing.

Mouthwash is like a fine wine; it gets better with age.

Floss, scrape, brush, rinse with something containing xylitol.

A good one for sensitive teeth

I usually keep a bottle of Epic gum in the car too. I can't stand it when people have a nasty mouth and emanating halitosis, no way I'm letting it happen to me.

Actually...

Find an old bottle of Listerine or some such other alcohol/thymol combo that expired, or one you just want to pitch? Save it for a foot soak. Does a pretty good job killing foot and nail fungus, or just as a hard clean for smelly feet.

It's good to see at least one person voted for the third ("simulated rabies") option.

 

[Dirigible]

Use some and let us know?

It just tasted like mouthwash. Which reminded me why I don't often use mouthwash. No noticeable negative effects so fajazararlakalkdkr...

Party at Dirigible's house!

Right on. Come on over!

Before brushing then rinse to clear out any food in your mouth then brush.

You want toothpaste to be left on your teeth and rinsing it off with mouthwash does more harm then good.

If option 3 is your pick then you clearly are a god.
