dust?

Cheeks, then crack. Then hands.



you're welcome

I think my dentist also recommended flossing, then brushing. But it's counterintuitive to me, so I will forever brush then floss.


There's no such choice for dust then vacuum. D'uh. Do you want to vacuum up the dust or not?

Ahh but the vacuum stirs up dust from the floor. Since I rarely do either it doesn't matter so much.

Lather, Rinse, Don't Repeat.

I've always felt that flossing get's stuff out of the deep recesses and then brushing finishes the job of getting it removed from the oral cavity.

So, floss then brush.

Hey remember this thread?


Like I said, brush than floss for me with no real reason, though as I thought about it I don't really relish the idea of sticking my hands in my mouth before brushing.

However I actually read a compelling reason, described by a dentist to floss first. Fluoride. If you don't floss first, the bits of teeth that have not had stuff removed from them won't be exposed to the fluoride from toothpaste. So floss first to expose as much surface as possible.

I read that a week or two ago. I have yet to remember it in time to break the muscle memory habit of brushing first.

Just one more example of how much better your life would be if you listened to me a little more often.

That's a very compelling argument!
