As a dentist, I’ve heard every reason in the book why people don’t floss. And, for every reason, there is an even better one why they should!

Everyone can floss easily with some basic pointers and a little practice. For easy flossing instructions, check out our Flossing Made Simple video:

Once you get into the habit of daily flossing, like most of our ‘flossing patients,’ you’ll likely find that going a day without flossing makes you uncomfortable.
