Answers:
Brushing and flossing are important. Frankly, mouthwash is kind of unnecessary.

Nighttime is the most important time because you don't swallow all night and your mouth becomes stagnant... hence, Morning Breath. I tell the patients, I work in pediatrics, "You don't wanna go to bed with chicken and peas in your teeth, do you.?"

I highly recommend Sonic Care toothbrushes. They make a cheaper model now for under $40. Other automatic toothbrushes just move the bristles. Sonic Care has a vibration that I feel does an amazing job. They seem whiter and cleaner. I check out my teeth all the time because I have the tools and they are very healthy, the gums too!Health Question & Answer

Use it when you can. You dont have to have it every time you brush your teeth, but you want to be sure those bad breath bacteria are out of your mouth and dead for sure. I usually do it in the morning and at night before going to sleep. Health Question & Answer

Usually brush your teeth twice a day, and use mouthwash once a day, and floss once or twice.
Braces 3 times a day twice with mouthwash and floss 3 times.Health Question & Answer
