That's Flossy

Flossing is a hotly debated topic even to this day. Once advocated as a necessity in proper at-home oral care, it’s become more divisive after recent studies. Still, most dentists recommend flossing once a day to keep your gums in tip-top condition. How else are you going to get the food from in between your teeth?

 

What’s The Deal With Floss?

 

Children can floss, too.

 

Flossing is an important routine for your oral hygiene, and is necessary just like changing your brush head. The ADA (American Dental Association) still recommends using a teeth cleaner like floss daily. It is still known to help prevent things like cavities and gum disease. Flossing is still one of the only reliable ways to remove plaque from between teeth. Otherwise, this can build up over a long period and cause gum diseases. Plaque that isn’t removed from brushing can eventually turn into tartar, which in turn causes gum disease.

 

When’s the Best Time to Floss?

 

Flossing should be performed once a day.

 

Unlike brushing your teeth, when you floss isn’t as important as just doing the task itself. It doesn’t matter if you do it before or after brushing. It also doesn’t matter if it’s morning or night time. As long as you have a few minutes at any point in the day, that’s good enough!

 

How Should You Floss?

 

Always floss carefully.

 

Believe it or not, there is a technique to flossing the right way. If you want to make sure you’re effectively preventing plaque and potential disease, you’re going to want your flossing technique perfect. To start, you want about 15-20 inches of floss. Hold the floss between your thumb and pointer finger, and gently rub the floss in between teeth. Rub against both teeth. Go tooth by tooth until you’ve gotten all of them.

 

Completing Your Routine

 

Don't forget to use a tongue scraper.
