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.
