Sometimes after I've brushed my teeth, I use mouth wash to rinse out my mouth.

But then I wonder whether there is any point using toothpaste, because surely the mouthwash washes away the active ingredients in the toothpaste. So should I wait after brushing to use the mouthwash?

some mouth washes are made to be used before brushing.

i think toothpaste is needed more than mouthwash.

i would also check the alcohol content in the rinse...high% has been thought to i believe contribute to oral cancer.

As long as you're brushing at least twice daily, along with daily flossing and mouthwash, I don't think it really makes much of a difference the order you do it.
