It has been said that it is better to clean while you cook verses waiting till you are finished to clean up. Making the mess is the easy part, cleaning-not so much. But when your kitchen, bedroom, or house is clean, you feel better.
The same can be said for your mouth. Think of all the things that go in your mouth. If all that food, drink, and other stuff laid all over your kitchen counter, it would look like a disaster stuck. A bottle of mouthwash may give a minty smell to your breath, but it's like shoving the mess in the closet. It's still there, waiting for you to open the closet door and spill out everywhere.
Every day and every night, sugar bugs (bacteria) have a party. They are the best party animals the world has ever seen and your mouth is party central. They leave trash (plaque) everywhere and would prefer you to leave the mess alone. The bigger the mess, the better for them. So make it better for you, pick up the broom, I mean a toothbrush, and give your teeth the cleaning they deserve. The more you clean, the less work you'll need when you visit the dentist.
