• Flossing is a mandatory part of any effective
  dental hygiene routine. It is a fast and
  effective way to keep your teeth clean and
  healthy. To be more effective, it should be done
  at the end of the day, just when you are about to

  and any other food particles that your brushing
  is not able to remove.
• The floss you use should be clean You dont
  want contaminate your teeth with a dirty piece of
