We’ve all been told that we should brush our teeth. We’ve all been told that we should floss our teeth. But which comes first? Should you brush, then floss, or floss, then brush?

    I’ve always brushed, then flossed. I never thought any research would exist about this.  But recently, from a post on a FaceBook group for doctors, I learned that TWO studies have been done. In each, the researchers recruited dental students to see which sequence was best at minimizing plaque accumulation.

    And the answer is: floss before brushing. That works better, but the differences are not large.

    For a final comment, I ran this past my dentist. He said that it doesn’t matter very much which order you use, as long as you do both.
