Dental student here. You’re not meant to use mouthwash after you brush - that’s like the equivalent of putting on sun cream and then taking a shower - you’re washing all the toothpaste and the good stuff (like fluoride which helps to strengthen your enamel) off your teeth and spitting it out. Mouthwash is effective when you’ve had a meal and you want to quickly rinse the food out and have fresh breath. You could even use it before you brush but please do NOT use mouthwash afterwards! Flossing + brushing = best combo!
You’re not meant to rinse out your mouth at all after you brush your teeth! You want the toothpaste to stay on the teeth and not get washed away. We advise you spit the toothpaste out and not rinse.
Does anyone know whether we should use the silicon(?) Tongue cleaner (scrape out white stuff on tongue) or the brush-like one? I've seen both and like how the scraper one get out a lot of stuff but im not sure if it's better
I floss, used listerine (alcohol wash) brush, tongue clean, and whitening mouth wash. And one if twice a week I used hydrogen peroxide mixed with water as a rinse. I’ve never had cavities and have super white teeth.
My guess for why there is more bacteria on your front teeth is that when you're swishing mouthwash around your mouth, your molars and back teeth are practically being jet washed by the pressure in your mouth removing more plaque and destroying more bacteria, whereas your front teeth are getting less.
And also, no one concentrates the mouthwash for 4 minutes in the front teeth. We concentrate them where there is a 'pouch' of space - the back of the mouth
@@richarduzor5560 I've noticed that whenever I use mouthwash, the fluid stays in the back no matter how much I move it around in my mouth, I can never really get the sensation of a good 'swish' in the front of my mouth. My theory is that all the muscles in the mouth are formed to bring food and liquid to the back. So every movement you make with your mouth to move liquid around, will still move most of it backward. It's like a peristaltic movement of the muscles that you have very little control over. I dunno, just riffing here.

But what happens with peroxide wash? Also have heard from reputable sources that flossing doesn't really due much a all. I believe that based off of dentist of dental cleanings but it's been a while.
The Reason that there is more bacteria in the front of your mouth then in the back while using mouthwash for four minutes because when you gargle the mouthwash do it higher concentrations of it in the back of your mouth that in the front and is in direct contact with your teeth longer
So I want to say that when it says kills 99 percent of germs it means that it has the capacity to kill 99 percent of germs found in your mouth but it doesn’t mean that it will unless you apply it to every crevice of your mouth which is impossible
Also can you do an expiriment about brushing teeth with toothpaste and then immediately after brush teeth with a mouthful of mouthwash and scrub it in with a toothbrush I’m curious to see how much more I t would kill

Some saying yes and some no... anyways my whole life was lie bcs i every time i did mouthwash after brushing and what i read here its not correct
@@JohnMcCain90 bah, MOST mouthwashs do no such thing and can absolutely help especially before bed. Just do a little research and learn what kinds of mouthwash not to buy, and you'll be fine. And yes, other guy, that'as the right order imo, and do not rinse with water at any point. All the things in the motuhwash and toothpaste you WANT to remain on your teeth as long as possible.
my guess as to why there’s less bacteria on back teeth than front after using mouthwash is that when you gargle, most of the liquid will flow to and fro at the back of the teeth, leaving back teeth more exposure than front teeth. Try visualising how the mouthwash will behave when you gargle and you’ll realise that the front teeth are exposed relatively lesser to mouthwash than the back.
There’s also more pressure when you do gargle. The cheek muscles at the back gargle with a lot of pressure. Even when you do gargle towards the front it’s a lot lower pressure than the back.
@@TheDeadMeme27 but it did the job of clearing your mouth from bacteria as this experiment was done right after brushing, thus you wouldn't rly need the fluoride to stay on, heck i read that it doesnt even prevent cavities, if fluoride worked as they said u'd not rly get that much bacteria in on your teeth on a daily to the extent that we do
Theory for 'why there is more bacteria on the front teeth when using mouth wash' , when you are swishing around the mouthwash your lips are pressed tight to avoid any dripping and are firm against the front teeth making less mouthwash hit that area. Similar when gargling your head is back so the mouthwash isn't flying out of your mouth.
@@JohnMcCain90 Now the big question; who makes the best sodium fluoride/sodium monofluorophosphate tooth paste. Green tea is quite good for your teeth as well.
Can we get a new episode on dental hygiene? New vs 3 month old toothbrush. Flat toothbrush vs those ones with angled and circular patterned bristles. Manual vs electric. Etc
man…..i hate sensory issues. I struggle to brush my teeth with anything but an electric toothbrush, even listening or watching someone brush is enough to trigger it. My electric toothbrush is currently dying i need a new one. But i’m broke. Life just isn’t fair is it …. smh
That's a good observation, the other part of this would be the bacteria that hides in between gums and the teeth themself, I have also decalicifed the tar tar, but in a week its back, I was thinking that the other factor would be calcium water, meaning the water I drink and wash mouth with is loaded with bad stuff. But the local water experts say nothing wrong.
The reason for the mouthwash not killin 99% is because it wasn't in a lab environment. It's usually a little asterisk (*) on the side of the 99%. 99% bacteria killed in lab testing means that they usually grow some bacteria on a plate as a control, and then try to grow the same bacteria with the mouthwash present on the dish. Since the mouthwash is present for the entire duration of the lab test, it's able to get 99% of the bacteria. When you swish it in your mouth, it certainly kills some bacteria. But without the extended exposure, it won't get anywhere near as many.
*It's weird when I was young I don't have any dental problems when I don't brush my teeth but when I started to brush my teeth it also started to deteriorate my teeth 💀*
Germ-killing Mouthwash & anti-bacterial items like wipes should be avoided because they kill off good bacteria as well. Brushing is great at removing bacteria from the surface & starves the bad bacteria.
Can you do the same experiment but use hydrogen peroxide? I’ve been told by dentists that it is a better rinse. In my microbiology class hydrogen peroxide was more bacterial static than listerine.
Do not use the one in the drug store use food grade hydrogen peroxide the one in the drug store does not list all the hidden ingredients in it very scary
I know my comment is really late but I want to share it. You should really dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water if you use the same kind you put on cuts because if you don’t, I researched(poor research) that it can dissolve and damage the enamel on your teeth. Check to see if this is correct but it’s worth considering...
Ask a dentist. They're usually the experts. Literally. I thought mouthwash was effective until I ended up having cavities between my teeth. Plaque builds up and cannot be removed with mouthwash. Even though it can kill germs it cannot remove plaque so you have to brush and floss. I had 7 cavities because of not brushing.
Yeah ....that's gross. You're supposed to use the mouthwash on top of brushing.. but obviously, as seen here mouthwash isn't that effective and is basically just marketed well. I forgot where I first learned that but I haven't bought mouthwash in a while
Best thing for me is alternating mouth wash types such as alcohol based, non-alcohol based, and Plax throughout the week and periodically adding a post-brushing mouth wash such as Smart Mouth to my routine really made a major difference to my oral hygiene. This paired with a good upgrade to an ultrasonic toothbrush such as Burst and a quality water pick, made all the difference. Long term results showed visibly whiter teeth, loss of all visible tartar, no more swollen bleeding gums and a polished smooth feeling on all my teeth that I had not felt in my whole life. (Tartar and plaque on teeth feels gritty and rough, clean teeth with a healthy enamel layer feel smooth and polished like slippery ice, feel with you tongue, not fingers) Also, sometimes I’ll give an extra couple minutes to a particular area of my teeth that I felt a bit too much grit on, resulting in a smooth polished feel after. I learned a lot of these techniques from other orthodontists and dentists who wrote papers and created videos educating these practices. As a child who’s parent took them to the dentist about 3 times, ever, I knew as an adult I had some work to do to save my teeth from its past. Glad I did my homework. Hope this helps someone in their journey.
Mouthwash will prevent dental caries (decay) but you will still have food particles in your mouth for that 1% bacteria that lives to feed on and form plaque. You won't remove the plaque with mouthwash.
Wonder if you've tried "oil pulling" to see if that's effective. Supposedly the oil would bind to the lipid composition of the biofilm to lift it away.
I've always been told that mouthwash is an excellent pre-rinse to brushing your teeth. Use mouthwash. Then, brush your teeth right after that. You get the most effective results that way.
About the mouthwash versus the brushing. Brushing removes the layer of plaque buildup. The mouthwash doesn't. So the claim is true, but mouthwash isn't a 'scrubbing' agent. It's like washing your car but only using a hose and not a sponge or rag. You won't get as good of a job done.
6:07- I have a theory. When you gargle you move your cheeks a lot. Your cheeks are at the back of your mouth. So a lot of the mouthwash goes to the back of your mouth, making it cleaner.
Without a doubt mouthwash helps against harmful bacteria but it likely also kills helpful bacteria. It may even alter the whole microbiome which may leed to a whole lot other problems. Interesting experiment nonetheless but personally I wouldn‘t use it everyday.
I brush, then floss to loosen the biofilm between my teeth and in my pockets. Then I use mouthwash to wash out all loosened bacteria. Then I waterpik if I feel I need to. I also get scaling done every 6 months. So my mouth is pretty good. Everyone should know without proper dental care that leads to gingivitis. That is about as far as most people are educated. The stage after gingivitis is called periodontitis. If you reach this stage it starts to Decay and eat away the bone in your job that the teeth roots grip to. This makes the teeth loosen and eventually fall out of your mouth. It is hard to manage.
Seriously... most people don't brush their teeth in the back?! I wish I didn't learn that, but really good to know. I brush ALL my teeth EVERY time: once with activated charcoal, and again with fluoride-free toothpaste, then rinse with mouthwash. And I floss every night while chilling with a video (like right now). I'll never see people the same way, now.
If you already have a good mouthwash routine you won't have plaque to start with. Removing food is what a toothbrush is for, not plaque. If you have plaque its already time to address it, not just brush it. Mouthwash has to be done every 12 hours and with the good alcohol containing kind. That and anticavity floride rinse 1x a day will make a noticeable difference in plaque accumulation.
I assume theres less bacteria in the back than in the front after using extra mouthwash because the swishing effect tends to happem more towards the bsck of the mouth than the front. That swishing effect is causing those colonies to break more easily because of the force or the movement of the mouthwash. It seems like it.
Two Points: Firstly, definitely impressed by your scientific procedure, this was actually a pretty legit experiment for TH-cam. Secondly: This video will 100% change my habits. Definitely good to know. Don’t skip brushing!
I love it when a notification pops up saying *Someone liked your comment* and mostly I love it whenever a notification pops up that says *New Subscriber!* 🔥🥺❤😭😭😭❤🥺🔥
Questions for Science yes? they’re sour, as well as acidic. i’m not saying i’m definitely right here, but one of the most common things they told us about acids and bases in high school was that acids are sour and bases are bitter.
Questions for Science also, i’m sure there are plenty of examples of bitter fruit you could’ve cited, but why did you choose lemon? in the very first paragraph of its wikipedia entry lemons are described as sour, with no mention of bitter.
Drywall Jackson oh sorry I miss read the original comment, I thought you were saying that acids aren't sour. The bitter aftertaste from eating sugar isn't "bitter" relative to the receptors on your tongue or the specific bitter taste. For lack of a better word, the after taste in your mouth is due bacterial metabolism making acidic byproducts. No literal "bitter" taste
Most mouthwashes have chemicals that can affect microbiome, cause nerve damage and/or cancer. I stopped using it when it appeared to make my peripheral neuropathy worse. Rinsing for more that 30 seconds would not be a good idea.
For the future: maybe do samples BEFORE going to bed to see the base level. As there are a lot of variables (what type of food you ate over the course of the day, if you brushed them, once twice or just before) I'm fairly sure this would yield more accurate results. Maybe it will yield the same conclusion... just a thing to keep in mind! :)
Came looking for a comment like this. I would suggest that maybe taking samples from nearby locations right before and after treatment(mouthwash, brushing or whatever) could have a good accuracy so that you can compare the samples against themselves instead of a base sample from a completely different day 🙂 And yes - I know this video is and comment are from 4 years ago 😅but it just popped up in my suggested videos 🙃
Question: Why not swab before brushing then swab right after brushing/wash each day? I would love for you to do version of this with the oil pulling method. Coconut oil alone vs mouthwash alone vs brushing alone vs brushing + mouthwash vs coconut oil + brushing vs mouth wash + coconut oil.
Experiment isn't really valid, because you haven't controlled for all variables - water, diet, sleep, mouth open vs closed time - tons of things could affect the results. The only way for it to work would be to have both environments completely identical...good vid nonetheless and thought provoking - thanks
Honestly I tried putting mouthwash on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste and my teeth got whiter and felt cleaner (maybe I'll put toothpaste and mouthwash on my toothbrush to get really good results )😁
Toothbrush + mouthwash actually saved my mouth since Covid19 closed the dentist and I couldn't get tooth taken out. No pain, swelling or acid taste from the bad tooth and you're right it feels/looks way better!
99% removal is just pointless because any Proper Antibacterial does 99.99%, at least in germany/the eu. think of the binary numbers. it takes 7-8 exponent* times to regain the 99%. for 99.99% it takes 12 times. *can someone tell me Halbwertszeit in english lol
Can you add another video like this for with and without oil pulling please? This experiment is just to prove or disprove the effectiveness of oil pulling in reducing oral bacteria. You can use cold press coconut oil or sesame oil.
on average the mouth wash gets more contact and movement time in the back of you teeth than in the front. resulting in slightly more bacteria in the front than back. to rule that out I would gargle round mouthwash in the front see how it changes the petri dish.
The premium mouth routine is Floss, tongue scrap, rinse, brush, spit don’t rinse, wait 30 minutes before rinsing with water or mouthwash to give the fluoride time to work. If you want to add whitening you might have to change your routine up a-little bit just remember let the fluoride sit on your teeth for at least thirty minutes.
No fluorine in your mouthwash? My dentist told me that fluorine is the best anti-bacterial tooth product. Also, I'm curious about chewing gums with fluorine in them; chewing gum might rub off some plaques?
Not all mouth wash is created equal. Alcohol based mouthwashes don’t work anything like Chlorine Dioxide mouthwashes such as Smart Mouth or Therabreath brands.
Dental hygienist here. Very good video, I liked it :) For the mouthwash, it's usually 30 seconds to 1 minute of gargling. So even 2 minutes is way longer than it should be. I wish you would have made a test with brushing + mouthwash tho :P eheheh Otherwise, the 2 best things to do are flossing, then brushing (and don't rince off with water, spit and let the rest in your mouth so it can protect you). If you wanna use a mouthwash, you can do it 30 minutes after brushing your teeth! :)
So many people upset about usin mouthwash after brushing sayin it removes the fluoride, but have none of you people sayin that heard of fluoride mouthwash?? I don’t like alcohol mouthwash or whatever else kind you can find but just fluoride mouthwash so I’m missin those points fr
And toothpaste works even more if u don’t rinse off the paste in water because toothpaste contains Floride.(meaning the long it’s stays the more better)
@@SufficientDaikon my dentist lol I really don’t know how else to prove it but think of the Floride as the paste they put at the end of ur cleaning teeth the longer it’s in the better it is so usually if best to leave the toothpaste but do spit out some without water then sleep is the best way to brush at night.
I had bad breath even after flossing n brushing and I use electric toothbrush. But after I use mouthwash, the bad breath goes away, so I assume mouthwash killed the bacteria when brushing don't So now I am confused.
Absolutely nothing learnt here . Bacteria grows in your mouth , that's obvious , what's not obvious is it's importance and how bacteria plays a role in your health .
Well yeah theres good bacteria and bad bacteria, however the bacteria in your mouth tends to be bad and messes with your teeth, I honestly dont understand what you're trying to say

@@ameanguy1995 The amount is so little that it won't really do anythinf
yes let it calcify that pineal gland lmao
@@nathanchocomint A little bit twice per day. Not sure the fluoride leaves the system very quickly, if at all.
flossing is so underrated
I’ve hated flossing because I was scared I’ll pull a tooth out or the string will be stuck (im dumb I know)
But I’ve finally made it a habit to floss every night and it feels bad if I don’t. And I don’t bleed anymore and my mouth feels so much cleaner. I unfortunately have pretty bad teeth but I just want to take care what I have now and not have anymore bad experiences with the dentist
@@FelineTomfoolery25 same here .i am scared to floss for reasons like yours.also i cant wrap my head around the fact , if there is no gap between my teeth how to insert the string ?
I actually never floss but now i will deffinetly do..one question when im supossed to floss?
1. Floss
2. Mouthwash
3. Brush
4. Spit toothpaste
5. And rinse or not???? Some saying yes and some no...
anyways my whole life was lie bcs i every time i did mouthwash after brushing and what i read here its not correct
@@JohnMcCain90 bah, MOST mouthwashs do no such thing and can absolutely help especially before bed. Just do a little research and learn what kinds of mouthwash not to buy, and you'll be fine. And yes, other guy, that'as the right order imo, and do not rinse with water at any point. All the things in the motuhwash and toothpaste you WANT to remain on your teeth as long as possible.
@@TH-camKeyboardIssueSucks try get a waterpik or even open your mouth in the shower, it will be able to get inbetween close together teeth
my guess as to why there’s less bacteria on back teeth than front after using mouthwash is that when you gargle, most of the liquid will flow to and fro at the back of the teeth, leaving back teeth more exposure than front teeth. Try visualising how the mouthwash will behave when you gargle and you’ll realise that the front teeth are exposed relatively lesser to mouthwash than the back.
Yes! Most of the gargling action is at the back of the mouth, hence it will have less bacteria
Henceforth we shall gargle more wisely.
There’s also more pressure when you do gargle. The cheek muscles at the back gargle with a lot of pressure. Even when you do gargle towards the front it’s a lot lower pressure than the back.
I never thought of mouthwash as an alternative to brushing my teeth, but a complementary thing to do after brushing teeth... Am I the only one?
No
Apparently using mouthwash after brushing is rendering the toothpaste useless as its just flushed away.
@@TheDeadMeme27 but it did the job of clearing your mouth from bacteria as this experiment was done right after brushing, thus you wouldn't rly need the fluoride to stay on, heck i read that it doesnt even prevent cavities, if fluoride worked as they said u'd not rly get that much bacteria in on your teeth on a daily to the extent that we do
Yes, that is how it works! Aslo, teeth are not supposed to be white, but yellowish like ivory....
Theory for 'why there is more bacteria on the front teeth when using mouth wash' , when you are swishing around the mouthwash your lips are pressed tight to avoid any dripping and are firm against the front teeth making less mouthwash hit that area. Similar when gargling your head is back so the mouthwash isn't flying out of your mouth.
yeah I think that's why too
put it better than I would
Good work.. Imagine tooth brush + mouth wash combination VS Tooth brush + tooth paste. I have a feeling the first one will do the best.
I've done that lol 😂😂
mouthwash + toothpaste
@@JohnMcCain90 so when's the best time to rinse with mouthwash. I read a bunch of comments and they all repudiated each other
@@JohnMcCain90 Now the big question; who makes the best sodium fluoride/sodium monofluorophosphate tooth paste. Green tea is quite good for your teeth as well.

"99% of bacteria"
Yeah mate, It's obvious that 1% doesn't replicate :)
Tryptic Soy Agar is one hell of a band name
Where's the brushing + mouthwash result? Ugh I feel so incomplete
Brush your teeth with an ultrasonic brush for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds
man…..i hate sensory issues. I struggle to brush my teeth with anything but an electric toothbrush, even listening or watching someone brush is enough to trigger it. My electric toothbrush is currently dying i need a new one. But i’m broke. Life just isn’t fair is it …. smh
Maybe you had more bacteria in the front when using mouthwash because you usually swish around it towards the back?
That's a good observation, the other part of this would be the bacteria that hides in between gums and the teeth themself, I have also decalicifed the tar tar, but in a week its back, I was thinking that the other factor would be calcium water, meaning the water I drink and wash mouth with is loaded with bad stuff. But the local water experts say nothing wrong.
The reason for the mouthwash not killin 99% is because it wasn't in a lab environment. It's usually a little asterisk (*) on the side of the 99%.
99% bacteria killed in lab testing means that they usually grow some bacteria on a plate as a control, and then try to grow the same bacteria with the mouthwash present on the dish.
Since the mouthwash is present for the entire duration of the lab test, it's able to get 99% of the bacteria.
When you swish it in your mouth, it certainly kills some bacteria. But without the extended exposure, it won't get anywhere near as many.
Everyone after watching this: *urgent need to brush their teeth*
*It's weird when I was young I don't have any dental problems when I don't brush my teeth but when I started to brush my teeth it also started to deteriorate my teeth 💀*
i was thinking the same
What a waste, you didn't do a round where you did brushing + mouthwash to see if adding mouthwash on top of brushing is actually helpful or not.
Germ-killing Mouthwash & anti-bacterial items like wipes should be avoided because they kill off good bacteria as well. Brushing is great at removing bacteria from the surface & starves the bad bacteria.
Can you do the same experiment but use hydrogen peroxide? I’ve been told by dentists that it is a better rinse. In my microbiology class hydrogen peroxide was more bacterial static than listerine.
Very good idea! I will do it for sure!
Do not use the one in the drug store use food grade hydrogen peroxide the one in the drug store does not list all the hidden ingredients in it very scary
I know my comment is really late but I want to share it. You should really dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water if you use the same kind you put on cuts because if you don’t, I researched(poor research) that it can dissolve and damage the enamel on your teeth. Check to see if this is correct but it’s worth considering...
Peroxide is BAD for teeth. Unless you're heavily diluting it.
@@IncognitoSprax dentists use it to whiten teeth though
Ask a dentist. They're usually the experts. Literally. I thought mouthwash was effective until I ended up having cavities between my teeth. Plaque builds up and cannot be removed with mouthwash. Even though it can kill germs it cannot remove plaque so you have to brush and floss. I had 7 cavities because of not brushing.
Yeah ....that's gross. You're supposed to use the mouthwash on top of brushing.. but obviously, as seen here mouthwash isn't that effective and is basically just marketed well. I forgot where I first learned that but I haven't bought mouthwash in a while
Best thing for me is alternating mouth wash types such as alcohol based, non-alcohol based, and Plax throughout the week and periodically adding a post-brushing mouth wash such as Smart Mouth to my routine really made a major difference to my oral hygiene. This paired with a good upgrade to an ultrasonic toothbrush such as Burst and a quality water pick, made all the difference. Long term results showed visibly whiter teeth, loss of all visible tartar, no more swollen bleeding gums and a polished smooth feeling on all my teeth that I had not felt in my whole life. (Tartar and plaque on teeth feels gritty and rough, clean teeth with a healthy enamel layer feel smooth and polished like slippery ice, feel with you tongue, not fingers) Also, sometimes I’ll give an extra couple minutes to a particular area of my teeth that I felt a bit too much grit on, resulting in a smooth polished feel after. I learned a lot of these techniques from other orthodontists and dentists who wrote papers and created videos educating these practices. As a child who’s parent took them to the dentist about 3 times, ever, I knew as an adult I had some work to do to save my teeth from its past. Glad I did my homework. Hope this helps someone in their journey.
I wish you did brushing and mouthwash altogether and show the results
I was today years old when I found out not to rinse your teeth with water after brushing it
@Fernesha it washes off the coat of toothpaste which prevents bactecria growth.
Mouthwash will prevent dental caries (decay) but you will still have food particles in your mouth for that 1% bacteria that lives to feed on and form plaque. You won't remove the plaque with mouthwash.
brushing + mouthwash = effeciency V
Floss + Waterpik + Tongue scrap + Mouthwash + Brushing in that order will leave you with the cleanest and freshest mouth.
Very interesting video - good experiment
Flossing+brushing+mouthwash+whitestrips=OP FOURSOME
Y'all remember when Jessica Simpson said she skipped brushing some days, but would use mouthwash? Somebody send this to her. 😂
I used to be a mouthwash guy. This is the video that actually convinced me to brush twice a day

Eat chocolate, then right to bed! A lot of people dont even get out of bed and are eating candy night and day.
Wonder if you've tried "oil pulling" to see if that's effective. Supposedly the oil would bind to the lipid composition of the biofilm to lift it away.
YES! There is so little legit information on oil pulling so and experiment would be super interesting.
My advice is never brush your teeth or use mouthwash. If anyone ever complains about it breath on them.
Mouth wash vs brushing teeth. Why not both
I do waterfloss+regular floss+ brush teeth+scrap tongue + mouthwash
I've always been told that mouthwash is an excellent pre-rinse to brushing your teeth. Use mouthwash. Then, brush your teeth right after that. You get the most effective results that way.
i'm pretty sure that is true! imo, probably makes your toothbrush cleaner too lol.
You don't want to kill all of the bacterial species in your mouth 👍
just knowing how clean you can make your mouth makes brushing worth it
About the mouthwash versus the brushing.
Brushing removes the layer of plaque buildup. The mouthwash doesn't.
So the claim is true, but mouthwash isn't a 'scrubbing' agent.
It's like washing your car but only using a hose and not a sponge or rag. You won't get as good of a job done.
You should have also included Brushing+mouthwash in a Petri dish to see if that's the most effective
6:07- I have a theory.
When you gargle you move your cheeks a lot. Your cheeks are at the back of your mouth. So a lot of the mouthwash goes to the back of your mouth, making it cleaner.
I didn't search for this. I knew what the outcome would be. I still watched it and was happy I did :D
a'm bri'is nd a can aswure mouwtwasing is 'o'ally fine!
0:16 -"It has been proven to kill 99% of bacterias."-
Covid-19 which isn't a bacteria : *Yessir, Yessir, Yessir !*
Without a doubt mouthwash helps against harmful bacteria but it likely also kills helpful bacteria. It may even alter the whole microbiome which may leed to a whole lot other problems. Interesting experiment nonetheless but personally I wouldn‘t use it everyday.
Haha I'm right and my husband is wrong. Thank you!!
Instead of toothpaste, try brushing with mouthwash. I think that works brilliantly. Squeaky clean teeth in no time.
Good idea!
I brush, then floss to loosen the biofilm between my teeth and in my pockets. Then I use mouthwash to wash out all loosened bacteria. Then I waterpik if I feel I need to. I also get scaling done every 6 months. So my mouth is pretty good.
Everyone should know without proper dental care that leads to gingivitis. That is about as far as most people are educated. The stage after gingivitis is called periodontitis. If you reach this stage it starts to Decay and eat away the bone in your job that the teeth roots grip to. This makes the teeth loosen and eventually fall out of your mouth. It is hard to manage.
Seriously... most people don't brush their teeth in the back?! I wish I didn't learn that, but really good to know. I brush ALL my teeth EVERY time: once with activated charcoal, and again with fluoride-free toothpaste, then rinse with mouthwash. And I floss every night while chilling with a video (like right now). I'll never see people the same way, now.
Yes that one grossed me out a little
Can you do a follow-up video where you both brush your teeth and use mouthwash
If you already have a good mouthwash routine you won't have plaque to start with. Removing food is what a toothbrush is for, not plaque. If you have plaque its already time to address it, not just brush it. Mouthwash has to be done every 12 hours and with the good alcohol containing kind. That and anticavity floride rinse 1x a day will make a noticeable difference in plaque accumulation.
Hi,
Great to see you are reuploading old videos. I hope that those who unsubscribed you will come back & more people will subscribe you.
Good Luck
Adnan Shahid thank you so much :)
@@darkscienceyt By the way, 5:28 to 5:40 was that real or scripted for entertainment.
Adnan Shahid scripted, I wish it were real :D
@@darkscienceyt 😂😂😂😂
I assume theres less bacteria in the back than in the front after using extra mouthwash because the swishing effect tends to happem more towards the bsck of the mouth than the front. That swishing effect is causing those colonies to break more easily because of the force or the movement of the mouthwash. It seems like it.
Two Points: Firstly, definitely impressed by your scientific procedure, this was actually a pretty legit experiment for TH-cam.
Secondly: This video will 100% change my habits. Definitely good to know. Don’t skip brushing!

4:39 but acid has a sour taste? bases are bitter
ever eat a lemon?
@@darkscienceyt yes, and it's sour
Questions for Science yes? they’re sour, as well as acidic. i’m not saying i’m definitely right here, but one of the most common things they told us about acids and bases in high school was that acids are sour and bases are bitter.
Questions for Science also, i’m sure there are plenty of examples of bitter fruit you could’ve cited, but why did you choose lemon? in the very first paragraph of its wikipedia entry lemons are described as sour, with no mention of bitter.
Drywall Jackson oh sorry I miss read the original comment, I thought you were saying that acids aren't sour. The bitter aftertaste from eating sugar isn't "bitter" relative to the receptors on your tongue or the specific bitter taste. For lack of a better word, the after taste in your mouth is due bacterial metabolism making acidic byproducts. No literal "bitter" taste
Most mouthwashes have chemicals that can affect microbiome, cause nerve damage and/or cancer.
I stopped using it when it appeared to make my peripheral neuropathy worse.
Rinsing for more that 30 seconds would not be a good idea.
For the future:
maybe do samples BEFORE going to bed to see the base level.
As there are a lot of variables (what type of food you ate over the course of the day, if you brushed them, once twice or just before)
I'm fairly sure this would yield more accurate results.
Maybe it will yield the same conclusion... just a thing to keep in mind! :)
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm doing another experimental video in the future and I'll try doing this.
Came looking for a comment like this. I would suggest that maybe taking samples from nearby locations right before and after treatment(mouthwash, brushing or whatever) could have a good accuracy so that you can compare the samples against themselves instead of a base sample from a completely different day 🙂
And yes - I know this video is and comment are from 4 years ago 😅but it just popped up in my suggested videos 🙃
It’s kind of like saying I killed 99% of the the universe theirs still going to be billions of people alive
this is true though
Most efficient method, Listerine 4x strength, pure peroxide, Listerine 4x strength while at the same time brushing, then over counter toothpaste
Question: Why not swab before brushing then swab right after brushing/wash each day? I would love for you to do version of this with the oil pulling method. Coconut oil alone vs mouthwash alone vs brushing alone vs brushing + mouthwash vs coconut oil + brushing vs mouth wash + coconut oil.
it would have been interesting to see mouthwash + toothbrush combined as well
Experiment isn't really valid, because you haven't controlled for all variables - water, diet, sleep, mouth open vs closed time - tons of things could affect the results. The only way for it to work would be to have both environments completely identical...good vid nonetheless and thought provoking - thanks
Honestly I tried putting mouthwash on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste and my teeth got whiter and felt cleaner (maybe I'll put toothpaste and mouthwash on my toothbrush to get really good results )😁
Yooo! Your living in 2050!! 😂 I’m gonna try that for a bit to see if it’s any good. Thanks man 👍
Lmao i forgot my toothpaste so i had to do that
Toothbrush + mouthwash actually saved my mouth since Covid19 closed the dentist and I couldn't get tooth taken out. No pain, swelling or acid taste from the bad tooth and you're right it feels/looks way better!
@@ictfckyle just so u know u can treally use mouthwash without diluting it
99% removal is just pointless because any Proper Antibacterial does 99.99%, at least in germany/the eu.
think of the binary numbers. it takes 7-8 exponent* times to regain the 99%.
for 99.99% it takes 12 times.
*can someone tell me Halbwertszeit in english lol
Thanks for reuploading this video! Looking forward to the rest. :-)
Constantino Tsarouhas hey Constantino! Thank you, they're all coming back, slowly :D
Can you add another video like this for with and without oil pulling please? This experiment is just to prove or disprove the effectiveness of oil pulling in reducing oral bacteria. You can use cold press coconut oil or sesame oil.
Me doing both: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
Brushing is more effective because you remove small resrs of food from yout mouth that are the base on wich the bacteries will row in the nught.
Try using Bleach as Mouthwash - The Ultimate Killer 💯
on average the mouth wash gets more contact and movement time in the back of you teeth than in the front. resulting in slightly more bacteria in the front than back. to rule that out I would gargle round mouthwash in the front see how it changes the petri dish.
The premium mouth routine is
Floss, tongue scrap, rinse, brush, spit don’t rinse, wait 30 minutes before rinsing with water or mouthwash to give the fluoride time to work. If you want to add whitening you might have to change your routine up a-little bit just remember let the fluoride sit on your teeth for at least thirty minutes.
No fluorine in your mouthwash? My dentist told me that fluorine is the best anti-bacterial tooth product. Also, I'm curious about chewing gums with fluorine in them; chewing gum might rub off some plaques?
brushing (more than 2 minutes) + flossing + cleaning your tongue + mouthwash and a fluoride rinse
is the routine everyone should have
@K 2001 p r o o f? ?
Not all mouth wash is created equal. Alcohol based mouthwashes don’t work anything like Chlorine Dioxide mouthwashes such as Smart Mouth or Therabreath brands.
Dental hygienist here. Very good video, I liked it :)
For the mouthwash, it's usually 30 seconds to 1 minute of gargling. So even 2 minutes is way longer than it should be.
I wish you would have made a test with brushing + mouthwash tho :P eheheh
Otherwise, the 2 best things to do are flossing, then brushing (and don't rince off with water, spit and let the rest in your mouth so it can protect you). If you wanna use a mouthwash, you can do it 30 minutes after brushing your teeth! :)
So many people upset about usin mouthwash after brushing sayin it removes the fluoride, but have none of you people sayin that heard of fluoride mouthwash?? I don’t like alcohol mouthwash or whatever else kind you can find but just fluoride mouthwash so I’m missin those points fr
And toothpaste works even more if u don’t rinse off the paste in water because toothpaste contains Floride.(meaning the long it’s stays the more better)
Source?
@@SufficientDaikon my dentist lol I really don’t know how else to prove it but think of the Floride as the paste they put at the end of ur cleaning teeth the longer it’s in the better it is so usually if best to leave the toothpaste but do spit out some without water then sleep is the best way to brush at night.
@@MANKEYhaoh okey ty
I had bad breath even after flossing n brushing and I use electric toothbrush. But after I use mouthwash, the bad breath goes away, so I assume mouthwash killed the bacteria when brushing don't So now I am confused.
Absolutely nothing learnt here . Bacteria grows in your mouth , that's obvious , what's not obvious is it's importance and how bacteria plays a role in your health .
Well yeah theres good bacteria and bad bacteria, however the bacteria in your mouth tends to be bad and messes with your teeth, I honestly dont understand what you're trying to say
Less bacteria in back teeth after mouthwash because of turbulence... more mouthwash moving around back teeth...
