Satan has his own brand of floss? Cool!

Hey, it was his stupid idea that we all have to floss all the time anyway.

I am completely fascinated at how this issue is split down the middle.

I brush first, then floss. I'm pretty sure a dentist told me to do that. Otherwise, it just makes sense to go from macro cleaning to micro cleaning.

ALSO IT WAS A TRICK QUESTION: After flossing I rinse with Listerine for longer than is probably necessary.

You do realize that you created a feud among WDers now. The Preflossers were attacked by the Postflossers last night. There were heavy losses on both sides and now the only people left to post are the spammers.

Today I took my niece and nephew to the dentist for a cleaning, and I cornered the hygienist and asked which order was correct/preferred. FWIW, she said you should brush, then floss.

Of course, she also looked at me like I was crazy. I thought that was because she assumed this was something everyone should know. However, on the way home one of the kids said, "Why did you tell her your Buffy friends wanted to know how to brush their teeth? I think she thought you were asking how vampires should take care of their fangs."

I used to floss then brush. But then this kind of snippy dental hygienist I had was like, "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG."

I switched to brush then floss (then tongue scrape).

LOL That's awesome.

Yay!

Also, vampires would probably have to use very sturdy floss, so as not to shred.

I went with the snarky answer only because it was there (sort of like answering "YES" in a this or that type of question in a BOQ). Anyway, really, I rarely floss. Brush and Listerine. I'm somewhat addicted to Listerine in that I will use it over any other type of mouthwash.
