Maintaining good oral hygiene is important and can be done through brushing and flossing your teeth every day.
People who floss every day reap the benefits, as it removes the bacteria and plaque present in the mouth. This plaque build-up on your teeth can result in cavities, which could have been prevented through flossing.
Although some people do floss every day, they may not be doing it correctly. On the other hand, improper flossing can cause damage to your teeth and gums.
Let's see how to floss correctly so that you can maintain proper oral hygiene:
Most people follow the routine of brushing their teeth first and then flossing. However, it is always recommended to floss your teeth first and then brush them. This will help release the food particles and plaque stuck in between the teeth, and brushing will help wash out these particles.
