How do you brush?


So- we have this debate going on here about how you brush your teeth. Say you floss, brush, and use mouthwash, what order do you do it in? I have always flossed, then brushed, and finished with mouthwash. My husband insists on using mouthwash first. It makes no sense to me. I have noticed that after a cleaning at the dentist they will then run floss through. So- maybe brush than floss. It still doesn't "feel" right to me. I googled this question the other day and I got mixed responses. So- maybe there isn't a correct answer. Though I'm definitely the majority. What do you do?

I think you are right. The order should be...floss, brush, rinse. At least that is the way I have always done it. I think that dentists floss second is to get all the gritty toothpaste out from between teeth. That is just my point of view I guess.

Hmmm, I always brush, floss then mouthwash. I never considered doing it in any other order.....
