I got high fluoride toothpaste when I was a kid. Turns out, I just didn't know how to brush my teeth properly.

  1. Floss first (!!!)
  2. Use *any* electric brush
  3. Spit, but don't wash out with water
  4. Use fluoride mouthwash

Is there any research/literature on this? A couple years ago I read that the "correct" order was mouthwash -> floss -> brush.

Really good question.

I personally treat it like gym: it's most important that you do it, not so much in what order or even how well.

		I think the most important thing is to make sure your process leaves a fluoridated product in your mouth at the end. You want the fluoride to stay on your teeth for 30 minutes.
