You get to decide!
Do you adhere to the Before Flossophy or the After Flossophy? People can be surprisingly passionate about when to floss...before or after they brush.
Even dentists can't always agree! In a poll conducted by the American Academy of Periodontology, 40% of dentists recommended flossing before you brush, 36% after you brush and 24% thought it didn't matter whether you flossed before or after brushing.
Truthfully, as long as you remember your home care routines and maintain your hygiene recare schedule, you & your teeth will be happy!

So, in no particular order...
- Floss once - to clean between your teeth and below the gumline.
- Brush gently at least twice a day (preferably after eating) - to remove food & bacteria from your teeth, gums and tongue.
- Rinse often throughout the day - we prefer that you use Oxyfresh mouthrinse, however even plain water can keep bacteria at bay when there's no time to brush.
