Brushing only cleans 3/4’s of your teeth’s surfaces, while flossing helps remove plaque from in between your teeth. That means if you brush and don’t floss it’s like not cleaning 7 of your teeth!
There are many areas your toothbrush can’t reach, such as the areas between your teeth. That’s why flossing helps.
Choose the type of dental floss that works for you. Choices include waxed or un-waxed, flavored or unflavored and regular or tape types.
Some companies are now marketing dental floss made from “space age” materials. These newer materials offer increase smoothness and are stronger than traditional floss.
