Dentists Are Revealing Oral Health “Lies” That More People Should Know, And It’s Shocking


17.

“Dental hygienist here. Floss picks, water picks, toothpicks, interproximal brushes, mouth rinse, or whatever else you try to do to keep from actually flossing are not as good as flossing. Period. Watch some YouTube videos on how to floss, and pay attention to the way you HOLD the floss. It makes it so much easier.”

“When you floss, don’t just shove it down and pop the floss back out. If you have tight contacts (the space between your teeth), you’re going to damage your sharpey’s fibers. Sharpey’s fibers are the tiny ligaments that attach your tooth to the bone. Also, you might actually be cramming food deeper into your gingiva. Not cool. Use a slow see-saw motion down, wrap the floss around the sides of each tooth, then see-saw back up.”
