Many people are concerned about oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay. Alongside brushing teeth, mouthwash is commonly used, but incorrect usage can lead to ineffective cleaning. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) points out common mistakes such as relying solely on mouthwash without brushing or flossing, rinsing with water after mouthwash, and overusing mouthwash. Dentist Chen Junlong emphasizes the correct oral hygiene sequence of flossing, brushing, and then using mouthwash for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute, avoiding rinsing with water afterward to prevent washing away the active ingredients. Overusing mouthwash can irritate the oral mucosa, leading to issues like swelling. Chen advises waiting after brushing teeth to allow toothpaste to work before using mouthwash for better results.
