Flossing is a simple yet often underestimated practice that plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal oral health. This essential habit not only preserves the health of your teeth and gums but also contributes to a brighter, more radiant smile. At Elite Dental Aesthetics, we emphasize the significance of regular flossing as part of a comprehensive oral care routine.
Are floss picks as good as regular floss?
Floss picks vs regular floss? While it’s better to floss with a floss pick than to not floss at all, it’s important to note that floss picks can only clean a part of the tooth’s surface. dentist Adams recommends traditional floss or dental tape. Here’s why:
A floss pick holds just a small segment of floss stretched in a straight line. Teeth are shaped somewhat round or oval, with occasional irregularities. A straight section of floss doesn’t conform to the contours of the tooth as well as traditional floss is used correctly. By wrapping the floss to make a “C” shape it allows you to clean more surface area and reach below the gums.
