Why You Should Floss Daily

Although flossing is an integral part of any dental hygiene routine, many individuals forgo this step. Unfortunately, simply brushing your teeth or rinsing with mouthwash will not remove all the harmful bacteria and plaque buildup that flossing can.
Appropriate flossing techniques are necessary to remove all plaque and food debris from between the teeth. Wrapping the floss around your fingers, slipping a clean section between two teeth, and wiggling the floss gently back and forth are the ideal motions. Be sure to floss all teeth, reaching below the gum line, and don’t forget to floss the back of each molar. For a guide to flossing, watch this helpful video.
