The Best Routine for a Clean, Healthy Smile

Did you know there's a right order to your dental routine? Many people aren't aware that flossing before brushing is actually the best way to keep your teeth squeaky clean!

Why Flossing First Makes a Difference

Flossing is the ultimate pre-game for your toothbrush!  By flossing before you brush, you:

  • Clear the Path: Flossing removes food particles and plaque from those tricky spots between your teeth. This allows your toothbrush and toothpaste to reach all the nooks and crannies more effectively.

  • Boost Toothpaste Power: With the debris out of the way, your toothpaste can work its magic directly on your teeth and gums, giving you a deeper clean.

  • Improve Freshness: Flossing first means no bits of food left behind that could cause bad breath—win-win!

So, next time you’re getting ready to brush, grab that floss first and give your mouth the ultimate clean!

The Perfect Routine for a Happy Mouth

Want to make sure you're following the best routine for a healthy smile? Here’s a simple three-step guide to keep your teeth and gums in tip-top shape:

  • Floss First: Start by flossing between each tooth to remove any trapped food and plaque.

  • Brush Second: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush for at least two minutes, making sure to cover all surfaces of your teeth.

  • Finish with Mouthwash: Swish with a mouthwash to rinse away any leftover debris and give your breath a fresh boost.

  • Pro Tip: Choose an alcohol-free mouthwash to avoid dryness and keep your mouth feeling hydrated!
