Floss first: I usually recommend to floss first then brush to remove the material away that the flossing accomplished.

Floss First: Either way is acceptable as long as you do a thorough job. However, if you use dental floss before you brush, the Fluoride from the toothpaste has a better chance of reaching between teeth. Some people brush their teeth and unfortunately skip flossing because they think their mouth feels clean or they may be short on time or tired and flossing is postponed. That’s not a good idea.
