    Rinsing after brushing teeth. The fluoride in the toothpaste should stay on your teeth for to be effective. So you should floss, then brush, and wait to rinse

      I floss, rinse, then brush. The fluoride content of toothpaste is much higher than rinse, so I’d rather end having that on my teeth than a weaker dose from the rinse.

      I learned last year that you’re supposed to floss BEFORE you brush. I have no idea why no one ever taught me that.

        Yeah you loosen up every thing and then brush it out. Actually, I floss, swish, then brush. I end with brush by because the fluoride concentration in toothpaste is much much higher than in most fluoride mouthwash. I’d rather leave that on my teeth after I’m done.
