Do not Floss before you Brush your Teeth.

Do not Floss before you Brush your Teeth.  Some people may think that if they floss before brushing it is better because you are dislodging food particles which brushing would then sweep away.   However the benefits of flossing has less to do with freeing food bits you can see then the debris you can not see.

Dentist Jennifer Jabloow DDS in Manhattan states  “Flossing is better able to remove the microscopic debris between your teeth after you’ve brushed off larger particles that were in the way.” Therefore after you are done brushing your teeth spit out the excess toothpaste hold off on your final rinse until you have finished flossing.  According to  Men’s Health dentistry advisor Kenneth Young, D.D.S., doing this can help transfer the toothpaste’s fluoride into the crevices between your teeth, maximizing its germ-fighting action.
