Daily flossing is an important element of a healthy oral care routine. Flossing should be done gently as aggressive flossing can damage your gums instead.
Key takeaways:
– Your dentist can show you the best method of flossing to prevent you flossing with too much force.
– Flossing should be directed at the teeth not gums, as flossing beneath the gumline can damage the gums.
– Floss only once each day, with the exception being if you need to clear food trapped between the teeth.
“Digging underneath your gumline with floss isn’t necessary. Flossing should be done with some pressure, but not excessive pressure. Just like brushing, it’s important to do this task gently for best results.”
