🚨 If mouthwash kills germs… why can’t we just skip brushing and flossing? 🦷
Because mouthwash is the supporting actor—not the main character. 😂
Think of it this way: If your dishes are covered in food, would you just rinse them with water and call them clean? Probably not. You still have to scrub off what’s stuck on there.
Your teeth are no different.
🪥 Brushing physically removes plaque from the surfaces of your teeth.
🧵 Flossing gets the plaque hiding between them and along the gumline.
💦 Mouthwash can be a great addition—but it can’t replace the mechanical cleaning that brushing and flossing provide.
So yes, use the mouthwash. Just don’t let it convince you that you found a dental hygiene loophole. 😏
Floss. Brush. Rinse. Done.
