  • Flossing is equally important as brushing for maintaining good oral hygiene. Make sure to floss at least once a day and use proper technique to ensure that you are cleaning in-between all of your teeth. Use an up-and-down motion without snapping the floss against your gums. This will help to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth, as well as massage the gum line.

    Remember that flossing is an essential step in taking care of your smile! With Enlighten Dental’s quick tips and guidance, you can keep your mouth healthy for years to come. Contact us today for more information about how to effectively brush and floss your teeth!
