I'm not sure if this had been discussed before, a simple google search seems otherwise.
Anyway, do you use mouthwash? What kind of mouthwash? In general it's separated into:
1. antiseptic (medical grade: chlorhexidine)
2. antiseptic (medicated oil based, e.g. listerine)
3. flouride (e.g. oral B)
4. ???

I'm using oral B once a while, and i'm considering if i should use listerine. i dont particularly have bad breathe, but docs tend to say my teeth are dirty.. even after floss/brush... lol

listerine can be used regularly

mouthwash containing chlorhexidine shouldn't be used regularly, as what my dentist told me

I would suggest you to change to electric toothbrush. The 1st time I used electric toothbrush and my tooth felt like the 1st time I had my tooth scaled.
Regarding mouthwash and toothpaste, best is to get fluoride free formula because we get enough fluoride from daily water and food intake.
Below is research paper on fluoride toxicity.

not important in general
if needing to use, use at night goin to bed
in day time you doin alot of talking and swallowing it should be ok
if you do have oral diseases and a dentist / doctor advised you, then go ahead

This is interesting! Going to read up more. Sometimes I go dentist and they suggest doing fluoride treatment to "protect the teeth" from getting more cavities. Not sure if this could mean I'm not getting enough fluoride from daily water and food intake (I drink a lot of water)

I use fluoride based mouthwash because I have carries, as suggested by dentist. I cannot tahan listerine's taste. Colgate has a better after taste.

The advertisement says to use everyday but personally, I use it when needed. Like after a garlic-ky meal, Korean BBQ, or extensive alcohol intake works best for me. I don't really enjoy the after-taste of most mouthwash (unlike toothpaste). That's why.

Listerine. However, some people developed irritation after prolonged usage.

I used to use listerine for a few years. Back then due to too much work and poor sleep my immune system was bad. After a few years hard time to improve overall health I’m much better now including oral health. So no need any nowadays.
