Should I Brush Before Flossing?

Should I Brush Before Flossing?

Should I Brush Before Flossing?

January 25, 2020 Dental Care, Dental Hygiene, General FAQ No Comments

The age-old question – should you floss before you brush or after? If you asked any one of our team members, you just might get a different answer on this one!

Before you report them for not knowing their stuff, each response can be right! As long as you’re doing a thorough job, we don’t care when you floss!

The Case for Flossing Before Brushing

Theoretically, flossing first dislodges the gunk between your teeth, letting the fluoride in your toothpaste reach those crevices better.

Also, behavioral scientists say since most people don’t like to floss, it’s better to get the least-pleasant half of your dental routine out of the way first – you’ll be less likely to skip it. Once you have a minty, fresh mouth from brushing, you might be less inclined to feel the need to floss afterward.

The Case for Flossing After Brushing

Some say flossing last is better because it clears your mouth from extra food and debris that could otherwise be carried by the floss into the very spaces you’re trying to clean out. Plus, it might be more pleasant to put those flossing hands into a clean mouth versus an un-brushed one.

Bottom Line

Floss when it works for you. But make it a habit! Choose the same time every day, floss once a day, and floss thoroughly.

And don’t forget to use the right flossing method: for each new set of teeth, use a new section of floss, and hug each side of the tooth by dragging the floss upward in the shape of a “C.”

  • 5 star for Dr. Lieu’s new office and the kindness and care from his staff I love the atmosphere and ceiling tv’s to enjoy a nature video or movie of your choice while having dental work done. I would highly recommend Dr Lieu to my friends and Sheila the dental hygienist was awesome.

Testimonials

  • After many years of hesitating from getting an implant or a bridge for my missing molar, I finally got an implant at Dr. Lieu’s dental office. (more…)

    Anthony K.
  • Everything was top notch, on time, and I’m happy.

    Karen L.
  • Good service. Now it’s time to save up for my next appointment. I was surprised to see that the mouth guard costs more than my fillings. After learning that I have teeth that like to clinch, I’ve been much more aware of it and avoiding it more frequent. Thank you.
