Happy Weekend!
Evidently, I've been brushing my teeth wrong for well over 60 years. I just read an article (you know the type "You've been doing Fill-in-the-Blank all wrong!) about the right order to brush, floss, and hit the mouthwash. I've always brushed, flossed, then hit the mouthwash. Wrong. You're supposed to floss first, then brush, then wait a couple minutes to let the toothpaste doing its job, and then use mouthwash. Who knew? Even my dentist saves the flossing for last. I must admit that, on very lazy nights, when I'm simply too darn tired, I will brush only and skip the rest of the it.
In what order do you take care of your teeth? Brush, floss, mouthwash? Floss, brush, mouthwash? Brush only?
