I admit, I'm not a professional, but I do like to brush first to get any food particles out of my teeth, and then after rinsing with water, I rinse with mouthwash to get that extra clean feeling!

If you are using a tarter control mouth wash use it first. Regular mouth wash can be used anytime but most people use it last. Mouthwash
then
brush

Actually, you are supposed to floss, brush, then rinse. Or if you use the listerine whitning, then you do it in reverse because it is a pre-brush rinse

I brush first and then I use mouthwash, though I don't use floss.I'm a baaaaaaad girl. brush 1st, you clean your teeth and get all of the plaque off. After your done brushing you use wash to kill all of the grems you just brushed off your teeth.

Use PLAX mouthwash, it is seriously the best mouthwash ever.

You use it before brushing, and it loosens the plaque on your teeth so you get more of it off when you brush.

It is also not super-strong like Listerine. It does not have tons of alcohol in it and has a gentle mint flavor.

simply cleaning your teeth can be done in 2 steps
* mechanical by using your tooth brush & floss , this should be done first to remove as much bacteria & food debries as possible
* chemicaly by mouth washs, this kill the rest of bacteria, althougth some mouth washs have mechanical effect, yet they also should be used after brushing
