John Street Dental’s tips on how often you should floss your teeth

Why Flossing Matters:

Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline areas your toothbrush simply can’t reach. Neglecting this step can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and cavities.

How Often Should You Floss?

Flossing once a day is ideal for keeping your teeth and gums in great shape. It helps remove plaque buildup and supports overall gum health.

Tips for Better Flossing:

🦷. Be gentle: Avoid snapping the floss into your gums.

🦷. Curve the floss around each tooth in a “C” shape for better cleaning.

🦷. Use a clean section of floss for each tooth.
