Which is worse, brushing without flossing or flossing without brushing?!
Question:
Which is worse, brushing without flossing or flossing without brushing?
Answers:
Sorry but most of these folks are not thinking it through. Flossing is so much more important than brushing (cavity wise) -- Reason: Where do you get cavities? From sugar impregnated food remnants that get impacted between your teeth?
Also, where does oral bad breath come from? Impacted food that has actually decayed between your teeth?
Have you ever seen rotted food stuck to the middle surfaces of your teeth? Why not? Your tongue is trained to constantly explore your teeth and in fact the rest of your mouth (even the back part of your mouth, including the roof of your mouth. However your tongue cannot get between the teeth.
( In the past we used tooth picks or regular sewing string to clean between our teeth.)
PS: Eating a crisp apple or some other fresh vegetables like carrots and cauliflower will also help to brush your teeth.
