minus-square@tigeruppercut@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink22•5 months agoFlossing is great. Don’t gamble with your long-term oral health, which can have devastating consequences on your overall quality of life.
minus-square@Valmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•5 months agoUsing those small “circular toothbrushes” is even better, flossing forces the teeth to move a little when you force it in. Source: my dentist.
minus-square@I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•5 months agoAdding on to this, the easiest way of implementing this habit is to keep a bag of floss picks at your desk. Seriously, I don’t even think about flossing anymore, I just do it when I’m bored or have an idle moment. My gums have never been healthier!
minus-square@UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•5 months agoAlso, there’s studies recently saying not flossing can lead to a higher chance of dementia, as the rotting tooth can go to the brain
minus-square@AreaKode@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•5 months agoEven better, check out a Waterpik. Basically power wash everything out. Feels so much nicer than floss.
minus-square@Moc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•5 months agoWaterpik is great, but it’s not as good as flossing. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of done though!
