    you’re supposed to use mouthwash, then floss, then brush, and don’t spit.

    every dentist I have ever gone to in 50 years it’s always been; brush, floss, wash. always spit.

    even people I have dated brushed like this.

    not saying you’re wrong…but you might want to verify your sources.

      Mouthwash not necessary. Statistically flossing first then brushing has cleaner teeth, but functionally dental professionals just want you to be flossing at all so we won’t judge you for flossing after. Spit and leave residual fluoride toothpaste on teeth.
