Do you floss before or after you brush your teeth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before. That way I brush any lingering gunk off. That’s the order dentists do.

Answer

This was debated once in the health forum and two dentists commented saying it’s fine either way... as long as you floss you’re good.

Answer

I floss like twice a year. 😂
But when I do it’s definitely before brushing.

Answer

It feels right for my to floss after but apparently the right way is before.

Answer

I do a light brush then I floss and then I thoroughly brush again. I feel like it helps things loosen up and get more clean.

Answer

I brush, floss, rinse, then I do my whitening mouthwash 2x a day. I brush 2-3 times a day and floss 2x a day. 
My dentist told me to floss after brushing.

Answer

I do it after. I feel like brushing gets the majority of gunk out so I'm not flossing out big chunks of stuff especially right after eating. Also my paranoid ass thinks doing it after can push left over pieces of bacteria or gunk back into teeth crevices after flossing(while brushing)so I do it last and rinse with mouthwash to finish.

Answer

I've always brushed, rinsed with water, flossed, rinsed with mouthwash..the end. lol

Answer

I’m gonna be the brave one and say I don’t 👀
My teeth are the most structured thing about me. Should have been broken many times. Never been to a dentist. 
I use mouthwash though 😩

Answer

I don’t floss...i have extremely sensitive gums. When I do floss it looks like I took a swig of red kool-aid. 
Never had a cavity in my life though so I’ll accept it👍🏻
