From the other side of the Drill #7: What the Floss?
Me:
Should I floss before or after I brush?
Melynda (My dentist and lovely wife):
The most important thing is to JUST FLOSS! Every other day is great. The ideal way to floss is before brushing, because that removes some of the plaque between your teeth, and loosens some of it. Follow that up with brushing and it will rid your mouth of those loosened plaque particles as well as the plaque on the chewing surfaces and smooth surfaces of your teeth.
