That is the correct sequence. Floss first, brush later, nothing in the mouth for at least 30 minutes after brushing, do not rinse your mouth after brushing.
I also scrape my tongue between flossing and brushing. Here is my tongue scraper: https://www.amazon.com/Scraper-Treat.../dp/B01LAY47D0 I have several and I toss them into the dishwasher after each use. This speeds up the whole process. |

I had problems with this too, until I started doing all my teeth care in the shower. That was a game changer for me, because I like any excuse to stay in the shower a little longer.

Go me! I brushed and flossed yesterday, and my teeth felt really good afterwards so that's motivation to keep it going.

Of course. Feeling good afterwards is the best motivator!

I have read that if you absolutely must choose between the two, then flossing is more important.

Thanks @Tart Cherry Jam
That was kind of my thinking, although ideally I'd like to do both. Flossed again yesterday, but didn't brush. I received my Oral B electric toothbrush yesterday, so I'm hoping it will motivate me to brush more regularly.

I was about to suggest an Oral B electric toothbrush for motivation. It is much more fun with it!

No crowns.
I used my Oral B for the first time yesterday, and my teeth felt really clean afterwards. I also managed to floss.

Yay! You are lucky to have no crowns. Keep it up this way by taking good care of your teeth.

Thanks.
I love my new Oral B. It does make brushing much more fun. I brushed and flossed yesterday, so that's positive.
