Floss everyday: Yes, you should be flossing, too. Brushing and using mouth wash only is better than nothing, but please remember that it's like washing your fists with soap ; water without opening your hands. At age 46, you are more and more likely to develop gum disease--a silent disease and #1 cause of tooth loss among adults. Great question, and please start flossing everyday!

Flossing: Mouthwash and brushing will not clean between your teeth as well as flossing. There is nothing else than can clean these areas between the teeth as well as floss. Do not listen to the commercials that tell you otherwise. You still need to floss.
