Flossing is the process of using a thin piece of string, called dental floss, to clean between your teeth. This helps remove food particles and plaque that a toothbrush might miss. By flossing regularly, you can prevent cavities and gum disease, keeping your mouth healthy. To floss, you gently slide the dental floss between your teeth, making a C-shape around each tooth. Move it up and down to clean the sides. It's best to floss at least once a day, ideally before brushing your teeth. This simple habit can make a big difference in your overall dental health!
