Health Tip: Floss Teeth With Minimal Pain
By LadyLively on July 15, 2015
If you’re not flossing because it hurts too much, it’s time to rethink the way you floss.
The American Dental Association offers this advice:
- Be gentle. Flossing too vigorously could injure the tissues between teeth.
- On the other hand, flossing too gently may leave food between teeth that could lead to decay.
- Floss carefully between teeth. Any initial discomfort should only last a week or two.
- If flossing continues to be painful, speak with your dentist.
