    Man good dental hygiene is one of those things you just do not think about until you’re older. Flossing, interdental, mouth wash (before brushing), regularly visiting the hygienist and dentist. Your teeth evolved to last 35-ish years, the rest only happens from hygiene.

      Mouthwash before brushing? Because you don’t rinse out the toothpaste?

        Yes 100% that. I’ve never met a dentist who didn’t immediately tell me to rinse before brushing on hearing I used mouthwash; they all categorically said not to do it after brushing.

          Well, that totally makes sense, thanks. I’ve been doing it the other way around for some reason

            You can blame the Listerine ads for that.
