Mouthwash isn’t generally recommended. If you feel the need, the consensus is you should floss > use a non-alcoholic mouth rinse > brush, specifically to make sure you leave the toothpaste on your teeth. Mouth rinses will generally have some fluoride, the active ingredient, but it will be in far lower concentration than the toothpaste. It took a few days to get used to it, but you adapt faster than you would imagine. Then you should give it 30 minutes without food or drink.
What about rinsing with mouthwash?
For best results, do not rinse.
You don’t need to use mouthwash at the same time as you brush your teeth, this is superfluous.

I use mouthwash before if at all. I don’t rinse after brushing. It’s supposed to help the teeth more.
