Best order for brushing and flossing? i floss first, then brush, then use mouth wash. is that the best order to do these things in?

There : There is no strict order for brushing other than doing the upper teeth first then the lower, to remove the debris that falls down on the lower teeth, then finally flossing followed by rinsing your mouth with a Fluoride mouth rinse.

The : The order that you use makes sense. The flossing will loosen plaque and the brushing will remove it and deliver flouride to the area now free of build-up. The mouthwash will leave you with fresh breath.

Whether : Whether you brush or floss first makes no difference as you are cleaning different areas of your teeth. I would use mouth wash last, as it will be more effective on clean teeth.

Floss first: I think flossing first followed by brushing makes the most sense. Flossing removes plaque in areas between teeth. This loosened plaque is then easily removed with a thorough tooth brushing.
