After brushing your teeth you should use mouthwash after 20 minutes.

To protect your tooth enamel you should brush your teeth first thing in the morning.

Although if you have to brush your teeth after eating breakfast then you should wait at least 30 to 60 minutes after eating breakfast before brushing your teeth if possible.

The best times of day to brush your teeth are in the morning and in the evening.

Some people may wonder if after eating breakfast is the best time to brush their teeth, but it's actually best to brush your teeth right when you wake up in the morning.

You should wet your toothpaste and toothbrush before brushing as it helps the toothpaste and toothbrush to clean your teeth more effectively.

However you can brush your teeth without wetting the toothpaste or toothbrush if you prefer.

You should brush your teeth at least 3 times per day or after every meal and also use mouthwash between 2 times per day.

Also flossing your teeth after meals is a good idea as well to remove any food stuck between your teeth which can lead to tooth decay.

It's recommended that you brush your teeth after every meal so if you eat 3 times per day then you should also brush your teeth 3 times per day.

Mouthwash is necessary after brushing as brushing leaves some germs and bacteria in your mouth and the mouthwash helps kill those germs and bacteria.

Using mouthwash is really necessary between brushing your teeth as the mouthwash helps to kill bacteria and germs in your mouth that brushing your teeth leaves behind.

Using mouthwash at least twice daily can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Mouthwash can damage your teeth when used too much as the alcohol and the PH level of mouthwash is highly acidic which can lead to erosion of the tooth enamel.

It's not bad to use mouthwash every night.

Using mouthwash every night is good to help get rid of germs and bacteria in your mouth and prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

You can overuse mouthwash and if you use the mouthwash too much then the alcohol in the mouthwash can irritate the soft tissues of the mouth and may also cause dry mouth.

It's not bad to use mouthwash everyday as long as you don't use the mouthwash more than 2 to 3 times per day.

When using mouthwash you should use mouthwash at least 2 times per day.

The general guideline when using mouthwash is to use the mouthwash once in the morning and once in the evening after you clean or brush your teeth.

Although if you don't carry a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss around to clean your teeth after every meal then you should rinse your mouth with mouthwash more often.

Mouthwash should be used twice in a 24-hour period. However, a gentle mouthwash can be used after daytime meals.

To reach all the germs hiding in the nooks and crannies of the mouth, a mouth rinse should be swished and gurgled for at least 45 seconds.

You should pour approximately 20 ml of mouthwash to use.

This is the same as 2/3 of one fluid ounce or about four teaspoons.

Most brands of mouthwash recommend that you use the product twice in a 24-hour period after first brushing your teeth.

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.

Mouthwash freshens bad breath, can help reduce plaque and gingivitis, as well as fight tooth decay and prevent cavities.

Mouthwash can really help improve your oral health.

Mouthwashes containing fluoride can even help remineralize your teeth.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of rinsing with mouthwash.
