Question: When is the best time of day to floss my smile? During my morning dental hygiene session? Or the one in the evening?
Answer: This is perhaps a bit of a trick question because neither is better than the other. Whether you choose to floss in the morning or evening is entirely your choice. Which one do you prefer? Rely on the answer to that question to make your final decision.
Question: When should I be flossing my smile during the dental hygiene session that I choose? Right before I brush? Or immediately after I brush? I’m never sure which one is going to be the most effective.
Answer: You may floss before you brush your teeth. Or, you may floss after you brush your teeth. Again, you’re not going to make a misstep here.
Question: What if I need to floss my smile more than once per day? Let’s say I’ve eaten bread, candy, or something else that I’m sure is stuck between my teeth. Is it okay to floss more frequently if it seems necessary?
Answer: You may most certainly floss again if you feel it is necessary. Just remember that delicate, thorough care is where it’s at!
