I stubbornly floss every day and every yearly checkup my dentist tells me it does not help and recommends me to stop doing it.
Maybe your dentist just needs more business? Im half kidding but i once had a dentist that told me I had 4 cavities that needed to be fixed, but when I to a 2nd dentist, she spotted zero cavities

I also rinse throughout the day whenever I can. It's not a routine for me as much as a habit along with generally always having plenty of water to keep things moving and clean.
Did they teach it the other way around somewhere? Here (Germany) I've been told floss before brush for as long as I can remember...

Edit: I missed the study linked at the bottom.
I floss after brushing, just because brushing removes a lot of particles. If I floss before, there is just so much more flossing I need to do to get everything out. I learned another thing recently, to use a proper brushing technique, I think it's the modified Bass technique. I also make sure to let the bristles go underneath the gum line.
Is there empirical evidence that this order is more effective?
