Myth 3: Mouthwash can replace brushing
Mouthwash can cut back the level of bacteria in your mouth, but it will not last all day. You still have to do your cleaning and brushing. Regular flossing and brushing with a medium headed toothbrush will do a much more effective job of removing plaque and debris than mouthwash alone. Research shows that adding a rinse with mouthwash to your oral care routine can in fact improve the overall cleanliness of your mouth and help keep gum inflammation at bay. But mouthwash is usually considered an add-on, not a replacement for brushing and flossing.

Myth 4: A little swish will do
Do you gargle or rinse for a few quick seconds, then spit? Most mouthwashes are at their most effective when in contact with your mouth tissues for 30 seconds per use. But despite best intentions, some people say mouthwash is so strong or stings so much that it’s difficult to use for that long. Mouthwash should be used as directed by the manufacturer.
