Floss better than toothpaste??

So I was at at the dentist last week and I heard some surprising news about flossing. So apparently brushing and mouthwash alone will kill about 40 percent of the germs in our mouth. That 99.9 percent of germs Listerine claims is in a dish. Flossing on the other hand will kill 60 percent of the germs in your mouth. Why the discrepancy? Floss is cheap! Companies would lose so much money trying to sell a 75 cent piece of thread to the masses. She wasn't trying to down play brushing and rinsing - she wanted to emphasize the importance of flossing. So she recommended I floss before I brush.

So if you are on the go and could only take either floss or a toothbrush, choose the floss.
