My dental-health routine includes brushing and flossing, and
then rinsing with mouthwash twice a day but I just learned that timing those tasks properly should be an important part of my regimen, too. If you can avoid it, do not use mouthwash right after you brush your teeth. In fact, you shouldn t rinse your mouth at all, even with water, right after you brush your teeth. Instead, you should spit out the excess toothpaste and allow the rest of the toothpaste to absorb into your teeth, Dr. Nisha Garg, DMD, an orthodontist with Perfect Smile Braces, said.
She added that rinsing with mouthwash between meals or at random times in the day (rather than right after brushing) could help to maximize the effectiveness of your rinse.
