Contrary to popular belief, there is a correct and incorrect way to floss your teeth. It’s just as important as brushing and can help you achieve optimal oral health. After every meal you consume, food particles become lodged in between your teeth and under the gum line. If food particles are left in between teeth, it can lead to bacterial buildup that can leave your teeth at risk of becoming infected. Flossing can give your oral health a major boost when done correctly. Too often, people either don’t spend enough time flossing or are performing the task incorrectly.
