Q: Why do I need to floss?

Q: How often should I floss?
A: You should floss daily, like right before bed at night. Many prefer to floss before bed because they are done eating for the day.

Q: What product should I use to floss?
A: It doesn’t matter which product you use. You can use dental floss, flossing sticks, water flossers and other products as long as they properly clean the smile and care for the teeth and gums.
