NO Room to floss?
•No matter how tight the fit, there should always be room for floss between your teeth. For some, our teeth have grown in such a way that they become a bit crowded.
•“Tight teeth” are very closely spaced, leaving little room in between each of them. This can make flossing very difficult, painful, and frustrating with a lot of floss broken halfway through.
Here are some options:
🔸️Use ribbon-style floss: This type of floss is designed to glide through tight spaces without getting stuck or shredding.
🔸️Use unwaxed floss: Unwaxed floss is thinner and easier to maneuver in tight spaces. However, it can fray and break more easily.
🔸️Use dental floss tape: Floss tape is less likely to break or snag than floss.
🔸️Use a floss pick: Floss picks can be a good alternative for flossing back teeth. They offer a different grip and angle that can make it easier to navigate the back of your mouth.
🔸️Use a floss threader: A floss threader can be used to pull floss through the gap under a dental bridge.
🔸️Avoid forcing floss: Forcing floss between teeth can cut your gums and cause bleeding and soreness
