Do you use mouthwash before you brush, after, both times or none at all?

I use mine after I brush.
My husband uses it before AND after he brushes. What do you do?

I use it when I first wake up then brush my teeth. Then I use it several times a day. At night, I use it first to loosen any food in hard to reach places then brush and use it again.

after i brush. i've never seen anyone do it before they do. Sometimes i'll just use it though if my mouth tastes gross and i want to freshen it a little

Whenever I have used mouthwash I have only ever used it after brushing, as a means of rinsing out any residual toothpaste and other *stuffs* from my mouth. I usually just use warm water, but mouthwash is nice and leaves your mouth feeling fresh.

I always use it after, although my dentist once told me that the order should be mouthwash, floss, then brush. He said that the mouthwash should be first to loosen up anything that needs to be flossed, or something like that...I don't know, but I personally prefer to use it last!
