Best Answer

The toothbrush is good at cleaning most of the surfaces of the teeth and gums. Where it's not so good at is IN BETWEEN the teeth.

This is where the floss comes in. Basically, it's a very thin piece of string which can fit nicely in between the teeth to help clear out food debris and bacteria trapped in between. It's important to keep the area between your teeth clean to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease

Hope that helps.
