I.???

it's been almost 5 years since i've been in the 5th grade so i actually forgot what the "I" stands for. i believe it's another word for rinse - what the h**l was it!?

Answer 3

That order. Brush, floss, and rinse. That way what your brush didn't get out, the floss can and the rinsing will seal it all off.

Answer 6

Answer 7

floss, brush, rinse

Answer 8

Floss, brush, and then rinse like you've been doing. If you floss after you  brush there might be food that you leave in your mouth. That's why I would floss first so if there is anything left behind you can brush it out.

Answer 9

The I in FBI is irrigate.  Personally I brush, floss, then rinse.  However, whenever I eat meat I have to go get the floss right after.  It always sticks between one of my teeth and my crown and irritates my gum.
