Flossing is a key part of an oral hygiene routine, helping save you time spent in the dentist’s chair. By making flossing a daily habit you will clean an additional 35% of the surfaces of your teeth.
Key takeaways:
– Have a specific part of the day to act as a trigger to floss, such as a meal time or just before bed.
– Ensure you have floss stored in various places, including your bag or office drawer, to use when it comes to mind.
– Think of flossing as a good thing not a hassle, something which will help keep your teeth fresh and clean.
“Flossing has tremendous impact on our oral health. Work out a plan that’s easy for you to stick to.”
