Yes, you do need to floss

Everyone’s heard this question from their dentist at some point: ‘do you floss’? Ideally, your answer will be ‘yes’. It’s even better to confidently say that you’re flossing correctly which means you’re efficiently removing all plaque from your teeth. 

Why you should floss

Flossing just once a day can have a big impact on your overall oral health. It removes plaque build-up and bacteria, getting into the spaces toothbrushes can’t reach – or where food is tightly lodged. It’s also crucial for keeping your gums healthy, which makes flossing an essential part of your daily routine.

The next level: Philips AirFloss

If you don’t like the idea of putting floss between your teeth, try using Philips AirFloss. It’s a specially designed treatment that allows you to clean in between your teeth using bursts of air and water. It’s safe, gentle and lets you floss the entire mouth in just 60 seconds.
