📣 Why You Should NEVER Skip Flossing!
🦷 Brushing cleans only 60% of your teeth.
The rest? That’s between your teeth — where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Here’s what happens when you skip flossing:
✅ 1. Plaque Builds Up
Flossing removes plaque between teeth. If left alone, plaque hardens into tartar, which only a dentist can remove.
⚠️ 2. Gum Disease Starts Small
Skipping flossing leads to gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums). If untreated, it becomes periodontitis — which can cause tooth loss.
😮 3. Bad Breath
Food stuck between teeth rots — and causes chronic bad breath, even if you brush and use mouthwash.
✅ Floss once a day.
It takes 2 minutes and could save you thousands in dental treatments — and keep your smile for life. 😁
📌 Tip: Don’t like string floss? Try floss picks or a water flosser. The best floss is the one you’ll actually use!
