Skipping flossing is one of the most common dental mistakes that people make. While brushing twice a day is essential, it doesn’t remove all the food particles and plaque that hide between your teeth. Flossing helps to remove those bits of food and plaque that your toothbrush cannot reach. By skipping flossing, you’re leaving harmful bacteria in your mouth that can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay.

So, it’s essential to make flossing a part of your daily oral care routine. If you find traditional flossing difficult or uncomfortable, there are alternatives like water flossers that can help make the process easier and more enjoyable. Remember, proper oral care, including regular flossing, is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
