Do You Floss Correctly?
Daily flossing is an important part of your oral care routine for effective plaque removal. But there is such a thing as flossing too hard:
– Some people pull too hard against the gums causing them to bleed.
– Flossing is only needed once a day; flossing more than this can damage the gumline and tooth enamel.
– Your dentist will be very happy to advise on your flossing technique at your next checkup.
“Don’t skip flossing just because you aren’t sure how to do it correctly or you’re afraid that you’re harming your teeth.”
