Well, I would think that brushing, then flossing, then rinsing and finishing up with some mouthwash would work the best, since all your crevices and surfaces are now cleared of the hard plaque (allowing the mouthwash to penetrate and kill most of the remaining gunk). Other than that, I don't think it really matters. :-\

I floss every once in a while when I freak out because I don't floss enough. Then I go on a flossing spree for like, 5 days straight. Then I get annoyed at it because my teeth are squished together so tight that I have to use special fancy floss that's super thin just to get it between my teeth. Then I stop for a while until I get paranoid again or have a scheduled dentist appointment.

My teeth shred floss like nobody's business, so I have to use the thick tape kind jsut so it holds together enough to finish the job. That said, I don't do it very often - I get lectured by my dentist every time about it. That, and my coke habit. But hey, he shouldn't be complaining - my fillings are probably going to put his kid through college.
Skewbrow:
My dentist has been similarly critical about my lack of flossing (I build up a lot of calculus, but usually don't have any other dental problems). My experience is similar to yours in that some of the gaps between my teeth are so tight that floss quickly becomes shredded, so I usually give up soon after paying his bill. Finally he talked me into buying a floss wand. Flossing that way is actually much more convenient. I don't need to touch floss covered in saliva for one.

Those are those little bands of floss on a rod of plastic, right? Tried using them, and I obliterate them :-\
