No: Mouthwash is no substitute for brushing and flossing.

Sorry: We're asked not to recommend a specific product, especially without the opportunity to physically you. In general know that brushing 2x/day with pea-sized dollop of fluoridated toothpaste is responsible for about 75% of your oral health needs, floss or oral irrigator about 25%, and mouth washes about 1%.
