No. They don't. Don't use them instead of mouthwash. Its called mouthwash because it washes your mouth. breath mints do not. Plus, mouthwash keeps your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Only a few mints do. Some people just eat mints for fun, or for a quick to keep their mouth fresh, but only lasts for a short time.

Does mouthwash with alcohol kill more flora than mouthwash without alcohol?

To anyone who is interested: I have just completed a research investigation into mouthwash, and it's inhibitory effect on bacteria.

Is it best to brush teeth before using mouthwash?

Mouthwash is not a substitute for tooth brushing. Everyone should brush his or her teeth at least twice daily, and floss once daily. This is the minimum frequency necessary to prevent plaque build-up, and the cavities that can result. Mouthwash is used, not to prevent cavities, but to prevent bad breath. Since you're going to brush and floss, and you want to use mouthwash, it makes more sense to use the mouthwash after brushing and flossing, rather than before, since brushing and flossing stirs up bacteria and other malodorous debris.
