๐ฆท Floss Like a Boss! ๐ฆท
Let's be honest... most of us have told our dentist, "I floss!" while secretly meaning, "I flossed this morning because I had an appointment." ๐
Here are some fun flossing facts and tips from Smile Keepers:
โ
Flossing removes plaque and food particles from places your toothbrush can't reach.
โ
Just 1 minute a day can help reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease.
โ
Bleeding when you floss? That's often a sign your gums need more flossing, not less! (If it continues, let us know.)
โ
Don't just snap the floss between your teethโgently curve it around each tooth in a "C" shape and slide it below the gumline.
โ
The best time to floss? The time you'll actually do it! Morning, night, or while binge-watching your favorite show.
Fun Fact: Your toothbrush only cleans about 60% of your tooth surfaces. Flossing helps clean the other 40%! ๐คฏ
๐ Be honest with us... How often do you really floss?
โค๏ธ Every day ๐ A few times a week ๐ Only before my dental appointment
We promise not to judge... but your gums might! ๐๐ฆท
