At Miami Dental, we advise our patients to floss daily for good oral hygiene. Flossing removes all of the food and bacteria stuck in-between your teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach.
Many people don’t floss because they think it is too time-consuming but the truth is flossing gets rid of 40% of the debris in your teeth. When food gets stuck in between your teeth, it allows plaque to build up if you don't floss.
Flossing is easy, simply wrap the floss around each tooth while rubbing it up and down to scrape away any plaque. Don’t be concerned if your gums bleed when you start flossing, if they are not used to flossing they will likely be sensitive in the beginning.
We want all of our patients to floss daily to prevent cavities and have healthier teeth.
