Description

In this episode of Mouth Mechanics, we debunk the myth that flossing creates gaps between your teeth. While some people believe that flossing causes spaces to form, the truth is that flossing helps prevent the very issues—like gum disease and tooth loss—that can lead to real gaps. We’ll explain why your gums might bleed or feel sore when you start flossing, how to floss correctly without causing irritation, and why daily flossing is essential for maintaining strong teeth and healthy gums. Tune in to learn the facts and keep your smile gap-free for all the right reasons!
