Flosses without being told
What it is
Once the permanent teeth touch, brushing alone cannot reach between them.
Start preparing
- Floss picks are far more likely to actually get used than a roll of floss.
- Attach it to an existing habit — after brushing, before the bedtime story.
- Do yours at the same time for a few weeks.
