    Strictly mouthwash, then brush with an electric toothbrush before rinsing. My dentist did the knowledge for me:

    The latest thinking in dental hygeine is that toothpaste just "moves the bacteria" around your mouth and long term use can actually be disadvantageous. Toothpaste can be good for stains on teeth -- especially if you drink a lot of coffee or smoke. However, it can also wear the enamel off your teeth. For people who don't smoke or drink coffee regularly, the advice now is this: rinse your mouth with a good mouthwash like Listerine. Don't rinse. Use the electric toothbrush to dislodge the bacteria; Rinse again with mouthwash. Voila. You're done.

    trying to switch from the hippy toothpastes to the crazy chemical ones is really hard.
    I was all on the Tom's of Maine (gingermint whoa) before my girlfriend moved in with her Corporate Poison, and all I'm saying is: pick one, don't waffle!

    Kind of interesting. But wouldn't the net effect be the same, not factoring in fluoride? I thought the main removal was the scrubbing action of the brush.
