K...so i was at work...
 

and i was talking about mouth wash and how i do it after i brush my teeth... and the person that overheard the conversation was almost offended because she thought mouth wash after brushing your teeth is ineffectual... so is there really a difference between before and after? which do you prefer?

After for me

Yeah, after

that would be like waxing your car before you clean it with a brush which would be totaly dumb.

mouth wash after i brush thats when i have mouth wash avaible.

brush then flush, lol

Correct way would be to floss, brush, then rinse.
Floss gets between the teeth, brush takes the crap off the teeth as well as massage the gums, and then you rinse after to kill whatever is left, as well as clean out your tounge and cheeks from you brushing your teeth.

it says "after" on the back of the bottle. The stuff one would use before brushing teeth would say "pre-brush rinse".

/thread

i brush, floss, then rinse usually, except on this underway, because i ran out of floss (one of the guys in my berthing nut tapped me, so i used the dental floss to sew his curtains to his mattress, trapping him in his rack. lol), and ship store is out. so i just brush really well right now.

Plus, the mouthwash that I use has floride in it, so it'd be pretty dumb to rinse and then brush the floride off my teeth.

I guess it also depends on what kind of Mouthwash. I use a Listerine teeth whitening mouth wash and I am supposed to use it before brushing according to the directions on the back of the bottle.. Most others are after I guess.

Directions FTW! :lol::lol::lol:

after. it says it on the bottle, and the purpose of it is to get the stuff you dont get with the brush

slap that hoe

The dentist always says brush, floss then mouth wash lol

here
is a video and in the first 20 seconds she says rinse after
