Are you supposed to floss before or after you brush?
Answer:
before you brush you floss your teeth.if you floss before you remove debris in between your teeth than when you brush you romove anything else that may be around your teeth afterward
Doesn't matter that much but I would do it before, that way the toothpaste can clean in between your teeth. If there's food or something in between it won't work as well.
well i brush first and then floss and then brush again and then rinse my mouth.
I don't think it matters
Before...
after you brush. That way, you arent "pushing" the dirt into your gums with the floss. After I floss, I always rinse with listerine to flush everything well.
Afterwards, but I think before makes more sense because you are flossing all the crud out from between your teeth and brushing it away.
after
Whenever I go to the dentist they brush and then floss, so thats what I do.
before
As a dental hygienist, I recommend flossing AFTER you brush. The toothbrush removes the majority of the plaque on your teeth, so when you floss you only have the plaque between your teeth to deal with. If you floss before brushing, you may end up pushing debris back into crevices. look at it this way. when you wash your car, do you detail first then wash the dirt off? Of course not. It's kinda the same concept. But if I ever run across a patient that insists on flossing first... I say go ahead... better to floss that way than not at all!

before so when you brush out all the gunk in between that stuck that your tooth brush cant...so yeah
