tooth brushing and dental flossing are integral part of oral hygiene maintainance. these two complement each other. only brushing does not give total care. brushing just clears the teeth surfaces but what about the food which is lodged between two teeth. you will be surprised that there is a ton of food debris lodged between two teeth, which we leave unattended to rot. this debris between teeth cause major decay and gum problems like gingivitis.
every night after brushing we should floss. this would gently massage the gums and stimulate them and at the same time cleanse the interproximal areas.
if dental floss is used properly, this itself will reduce more than half of dental problems. so its best to ask a qualified dentist ....how to brush and then start flossing in this new year. so HAPPY FLOSSING to all the readers.
