Well, i dont really know, is it preference?
I personally do it in this order..
Floss, Gargle, Brush, and Mouthwash..
Sometimes, Floss, Pre-Brush Rinse, Brush, and Mouthwash.
My dentist tells me that Option B is the best – I believe her exact words were “you wouldn’t mop the floor before you sweep, so why would you brush before you floss?” I never thought about it before, but it makes sense!
heh… my dentist suggested flossing after brushing so as to help force some of the toothpaste up in between the teeth.
@Rob; tag was “hygiene.”—->http://www.fluther.com/disc/1487/better-to-floss-before-or-after-you-brush/
< < doubly impressed b/c his google search didn’t return that result.
@Rob: eyes right >> if you aren’t on iPhone.
@Rob: Remember that you have been my teacher.
< < thinks that the student may have exceeded the teacher.
B. Twice a day: Before bed, after breakfast.
