We’ve all been told to floss daily. It’s an important oral health habit that promotes a healthy mouth and body. Yet only 16 percent of Americans surveyed said they always floss once a day. When asked why they don’t floss, non-flossers said it was too time-consuming, painful, or gross. | Understanding the relationship between flossing and good health can help keep us motivated. Did you know that poor oral health is linked to some cancers? Or that oral cancer kills roughly one person per hour, 24 hours a day? |
Ulcers Lasting longer than 3 weeks |
Patches Red or white in your mouth |

Choose the type of floss that works best for you — such as waxed or unwaxed, mint-flavored, dental tape, or pre-threaded flossers. | |
For traditional floss, pull 18 to 24 inches of floss from the dispenser and wrap the ends of the floss around your middle fingers on each hand. Then use your index fingers and thumbs to guide the floss between each tooth. | |
Hold the floss tightly around each tooth in a C-shape, moving the floss back and forth against the sides of each tooth. |
