Flossing is just as important as brushing when it comes to keeping your teeth healthy and plaque free. Did you know that there are alternatives to regular floss?
Key takeaways:
- Water flossers can effectively remove plaque.
- They are easier to use for people with limited mobility.
- They can also make flossing easy if you have crowded teeth, wear braces or orthodontic devices, or have a crown.
Ask your dentist about the benefits of these devices – they may be a good alternative to other flossing methods.
