I’m not going to lie… I take better care of my teeth than anything else. After braces, a permanent retainer, actual retainers, wisdom teeth surgery, and implant surgery… my mouth is worth a lot of money. Until today, I thought I was taking care of my teeth in the correct order, but apparently not!
According to allure, you aren’t supposed to brush your teeth first. You are actually supposed to rinse your mouth out with mouth wash. Then you are supposed to floss and finish everything out by brushing your teeth.
The article says when you wake up in the morning or when you are getting ready for bed, your mouth is full of bacteria. The mouth wash will help make sure you get rid of the bacteria before you start moving stuff in your mouth by brushing your teeth.
If you think about it, that is a great idea. It looks like I will be changing my dental routine. How about you?
