People often ask whether they should floss before or after brushing. As long as you floss daily, you can choose the time that works for you. However there are some benefits to flossing before brushing. Flossing will release trapped food from between your teeth. When you floss first, you can then remove the released debris when you brush, giving you a better clean. If you need a dental cleaning, give us a call. We are accepting new patients.🦷
