A member asked:
Is it okay to rinse with mouthwash after brushing teeth?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: I often recommend a mouthwash after brushing. There are many mouthwashes but, most mouthwashes are not very effective. Ask your dentist what mouthwash they recommend to address your dental needs.

Sure it is: Many people like to use mouthwash, and the right time to use it is after you clean your teeth. Note that mouthwash is not a substitution for proper oral hygiene, but rather an adjunct.
