The answer is no. You should avoid any type of water or food intake for approx. 30 minutes after using mouthwash. A clinical study evaluated the effect of rinsing with a mouthwash on salivary ph and plaque ph. Following pre treatment ph determinations, subjects rinsed with tap water for 30 seconds and ph was monitored periodically over 30 minutes; after a 10 minute rest period, the procedure was repeated with mouthwash substituted for tap water. Both the plaque ph and the salivary ph remained well above the critical ph of 5.7 (where demineralization occurs during the entire 30 minute period of the study). In addition, it is important to note that mouthwash (ph 4.2) is rapidly neutralized by the buffers in saliva during and after rinsing and any drop in ph will be of extremely short duration, especially when compared to that of carbonated drinks and citrus drinks and fluids which are far more difficult to neutralize. Furthermore, mouthwash is an expectorated product; therefore the contact time of the mouth rinse with the tooth surface is short.

You should consult orthodontist. This can be corrected with braces and /or surgical treatment. But clinical examination is must for final say.

So start taking vitamin supplements. eat balanced and healthy diet. avoid oilly spicy n junk foods completely. increase your water intake. get treated for constipation. apply Vaseline or boroline on the crack especially before sleeping

Dry mouth can also relate to stress. For symptomatic relief you can have gel for dry mouth. Visit a dentist if you have any cavity. Because t would grow rapidly due to dryness of mouth.
