Accepted Answer

Mouthwash: Brushing, flossing, and use of a proxy-brush is the best routine for maintaining a healthy mouth.

Bad mouthwash: Most mouthwashes have alcohol in them.  This can be hard on the mucosa of the cheeks and gums. Chlorohexidine stains the teeth, but this can be cleaned off in the dental office   you can find alcohol free mouthwashes.  Use those, they are better for you.  Good luck!
