Is it OK to use mouthwash in the morning instead of brushing?!


Question:

Is it OK to use mouthwash in the morning instead of brushing?

I hate brushing in the morning, takes too long. So I was wondering if I could just use Crest Pro Health mouthwash instead. However, I don't know how effective it would be in removing plaque buildups from overnight.

Ok then, I will try to brush.


Answers:

It's best to brush then rinse with mouthwash. You need to scrub away plaque that builds up as you sleep. An article on dental care says you should brush your teeth for no less than 2 minutes. Two minutes isn't really that long. :)
