When it comes to flossing, there are two methods you can use. It’s best to pick the one you are more likely to stick with:
– Traditional dental floss is cheap and easy to use and can easily be kept on your person.
– Water flossing requires a more expensive initial outlay, and uses batteries, but is more effective and quicker than dental floss at removing debris from between your teeth.
– If you’re not confident with your flossing, your dentist will be happy to demonstrate.
“By flossing just once a day, you can prevent serious problems with your smile later on.”
