Dental Care FAQs: The Order Of Everything

Posted by Dental Centre of Conroe

As there is often a natural order to things, the same seems to be true of your dental care as you protect your smile with your dental hygiene. Wait a second. We need to emphasize something. There seems to be a natural order. However, is there? Or, can you brush before or after you floss? If you don’t know the answer to this question or other inquiries like it, then our FAQs session will be of great help in your effort to protect your oral health. Let’s get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Should I be flossing in the morning or should I do so at night?

Answer: This one is completely up to you! We know, you probably feel like there should be a rule here. However, there is not one. The goal is to floss daily, so you’re removing plaque and buildup from between teeth and from under your gumline. As long as it’s happening once every 24 hours or so, you’re on track.

Question: Should I brush first and then floss after I’m done? Or, is it better for my oral health if I floss first and then brush my teeth?

Answer: This might surprise you but there is no particular set-in-stone rule for this either! You can perform this part of your dental hygiene in any order you wish. It’s all about making your methods work in your favor.

Question: If I want my smile to look better but it’s not exactly healthy at the moment, should I get my cosmetic care completed first? Or, will restorative treatments first be required before I can move on to cosmetic care?

Answer: You will always need a healthy smile in order to qualify for cosmetic care, so restorative must come first.
