Brush and floss, brush and floss, brush and floss. Dental professionals stress the importance of brushing twice a day and flossing after meals and snacks in an effort to reduce their patients’ risk for oral disease. Bacterial plaque is the sticky coating that forms over your teeth and while brushing will remove it from the outer surfaces, the only way to clean the inner surfaces of your teeth is to floss. If you’re having trouble, your dental hygienist will be happy to provide tips on how to floss for top efficiency.
