Dentists Reveal Whether to Floss Before or After Brushing
Dentists recommend flossing before brushing to effectively remove debris and plaque, allowing fluoride from toothpaste to better strengthen teeth and improve oral health. Flossing first dislodges particles from between teeth, making brushing more effective, especially when done at night as part of a daily routine. The best flossing tool is the one you will use consistently, whether traditional floss, picks, or water flossers.
