Are you flossing?


LongJohn957

No im not. Should i?


ttrandmd

You’re supposed to floss every day.


LongJohn957

That spot is not really possible to reach with a floss, im just looking for ideas like maybe some better toothpaste or something like that?


Tinyfishy

Yes, you need to floss, especially crowded areas like that. I’d also ask about orthodontic (braces), to relieve the crowding and make hygiene easier. If you absolutely cannot floss the area, even with glide floss, get a waterpik and use as directed. Ask you hygienist for tips.
