Is it safe to use mouth wash as tooth paste?

Question

I am just wondering. My sister said that you can put mouthwash in your mouth and brush with a tooth brush. Is it safe to do so? I don't want to continue to do something that may be dangerous to my teeth or to me.

I use a Sonicare brush if that makes any difference at all.

Answer 1

I have no medical expertise, but do not see any danger using a mouth wash to wash your mouth. It is made to wash a mouth, it should not matter wether you brush it or swish it.

Answer 2

It wont hurt you. I do it sometimes.

Answer 3

it may take more enamel off  

Answer 4

no , first go to dentist, and he will prefer you toothpaste

Answer 5

it wont make much of a difference if you brush with mouth wash in your mouth if you have already brushed your teeth with toothpaste.

you can brush with mouth wash after you brush or you can swish mouth wash in your mouth after brushing and it will do the same exact thing.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure it will have no negative effect.  After all, it is designed to be used inside your mouth.  You'd probably be better off just brushing after every meal, brushing your tongue, flossing and using the mouthwash as directed. (The tongue has the most bacteria of anywhere in your mouth, and brushing it daily will annihilate bad breath and keep most of the bacteria from migrating to other regions of the mouth.)

Answer 7

well duhh

Answer 8

it sounds fine to do. u get ur mouth really clean and fresh then  

Answer 9

It isn't going to hurt you no.  But why bother if you are going to use toothpaste anyway?

Seems like a waste of time.  The toothpaste has the same stuff in it, but in a form that will stay on your teeth while brushing.

Using the Mouthwash in the way seems like an unneeded step.
