Mouthwash cannot replace brushing or flossing. You need the physical contact of the toothbrush (or floss) to the surfaces of your teeth to remove plaque. Plaque is very sticky and only the mechanical scrubbing of your toothbrush and floss will get it off your teeth. Listerine had an ad a while ago claiming that using their rinse would replace flossing, but it was proven that was NOT TRUE, so the ad is gone....
No way. It will not get rid of the plaque and tartar between your teeth.
