Answers:
The way steps don't really matter, usually we tell patients to brush first, then floss, then use mouthwash.
Make sure you use proper brushing techniques, even if you spend a half hour brushing this does not guarantee that you have gotten all the spots with plaque. Using a "soft" bristle toothbrush, start from the gum line with your brush at a 45 degree angle and sweep away from the gum line 10 times per tooth. On oclusal surfaces, use a circling motion. Make sure you floss every other day, be careful not to damage your gums. Then use your mouthwash for 30 secs and don't rinse afterwards. Brush after every meal (3 times a day). Get cleanings every 6 months.
