Do you brush first then floss, or floss first then brush, and why?!
Question:
Do you brush first then floss, or floss first then brush, and why?
I like to floss first, because when I go to the denist for a cleaning, they floss my teeth and do all the cleaning stuff after that.
Answers:
I brush in the morning and floss at night.
Now that I have braces I've also started brushing at noon, but I still floss at night.
When I told that to my hygienist, she said that was actually good because of the fact that it takes bacteria 12 hours to regrow, so by flossing at night, I was disrupting them again.
If you brush morning and night, it probably doesn't matter when you floss.
But if you're something of a slacker like me, it might be best to separate them.
