and before a date(if u have one)


use mouth wash
Reply:Yes. But before it all, scrape the tongue. Oh, and use Listerine, not some mamby-pamby mouthwash that doesn't kill germs.
Reply:My hygienist told me to floss then brush then use mouthwash. Flossing before brushing gets all the food particles that are stuck in your teeth loosened.
Reply:I always tell my patients that its best to floss first, the brush and if you choose to use mouthwash use it last. Most people have a hard time remembering to floss daily, but they remember to brush daily. So if you floss first and then brush, it is more likely that you will floss on a regular(daily) basis. Plus, when you floss it gets all of the plaque out between your teeth where your toothbrush cant reach. Then you can brush and rise the plaque away once you dislodge it with the floss. Hope this helps!


oh and brush your tongue too! :D
Reply:first you use mouthwash, then you brush, then you floss. after all that you scrape your tongue. there is a scraper tool you can buy at walmart to scrape your tongue with. its called a tongue scraper.
