When Should You Floss? Health & Special Psychology

Floss You When

Doing it before brushing has always made sense to me personally, and is what my dentists have said at well. At least twice a day along side brushing as well. This seems pretty straight forward.

Floss You When

I never hear before or after, I never really paid attention I honestly think I more so do it after as I tend to forget. But my dentists always told me to floss once a day at night.

When Should You Floss?

Admittedly, I haven't exactly been the best at remembering to floss. Which I'm suffering for today, with two teeth I need removed but don't have the money for, before then having a root canal for them. Plus fillings for basically all of my molars over the years.
