Optimal Oral Hygiene: Brushing, Flossing, & Waterpik Tips

At Bilski Dental, we often encounter questions about the best oral hygiene practices, particularly regarding the order of brushing and flossing. It’s a common curiosity: should one brush before flossing, or floss before brushing?
Here’s our take on this age-old debate. Brushing and Flossing: The Order Doesn’t Matter

• Whether you choose to brush then floss or floss then brush, what truly matters is that you do both
  effectively.
• The key is consistency and thoroughness in your oral hygiene
  routine.

Personal Preferences in Oral Care:

• We understand that personal habits and preferences play a role. For example, some people prefer to floss in the morning to remove plaque built up overnight, then
  brush.
• Finding a routine that works for you and sticking to it is crucial for maintaining dental
  health.

The Role of Waterpiks
in Oral Hygiene:

• Recent research
  suggests that using a Waterpik can be more effective than traditional
  flossing.
• Waterpiks, especially
  cordless models used in the shower, can be a convenient and effective
  addition to your oral care routine.

At Bilski Dental, we advocate
for a comprehensive approach to oral hygiene. Whether you brush first or
floss first, the most important thing is that you take care of your teeth
consistently and thoroughly.
