Yes, Your Dentist Knows You Don’t Floss

We get it, Cincinnati! When it’s almost time to see the dentist, you suddenly feel this pressure to floss like there’s no tomorrow. But we’re onto you — we can always tell whether or not you’ve been flossing regularly. But here’s the thing — yes, you should floss, but not just to impress your dentist. It’s a good idea to floss regularly because it’s so important to your oral health. Floss reaches areas of the tooth, especially along the gumline, that regular brushing just can’t access. It gets bits of food and plaque out of your teeth and protects against tooth decay and gum disease. Yes, your teeth will bleed for the first week or 2 you floss regularly. And that’s okay. Don’t let it stop you. In fact, this should be an inspiration to floss more regularly because your gums won’t bleed after a while. We recommend flossing at least once a day. Whether it’s the morning or night is really up to you.
