Is it ok to floss more than the once a day recommendation?!


Question: I have tight teeth and food gets stuck easily so if I just floss once a day I still have food stuck in my teeth. Does it hurt to floss every time I brush?

do you have any idea how hard it is to get people to floss at all! The more you floss the "tougher" and healthier your gum tissue will be. We call it "power flossing" and we try to get people to floss 3 times a day or more before crowns and certain dental treatments to make the tissue healthier. Go for it!

it will be even better.

nope, its actually good for you, just dont over do it or yours gus will bleed. but it helps break down the build up of plaque.

Yes, it is ok to floss anytime you need to remove food/debris from your teeth. Just don't get carried away and do it too quickly where you cut your gums. Be gentle and curve the floss around your teeth so it will easily slide under your gumline. No, it shouldn't hurt every time you floss. Make sure you are not being too rough. It is possible that you could have gum disease. Make sure your cleaning and exam are up to date.

I floss and rinse with Listerine 3times a day when I brush. Flossing more will never hurt!

yes of course!!!!! it is healthy to do so. keep on flossing!!!

It is recomended that you brush your teeth 4 times a day after each meal and at bedtime,also you should floss each time to prevent cavities.Rinse your mouth with a mouthwash of your choise.To have clean,white healty teeth.
