Flossing is one of those activities where dentists see that we should be doing a whole lot more. However if you admit to only flossing one a day, most dentists will suggest before bed as the optimal time to reduce the "set time" for bacteria at night when saliva flow and abrasion by chewing is lowest.

What should you use for interdental cleaning?
Interdental cleaning is the process of removing food particles and plaque from the spaces between your teeth, where a regular toothbrush may not reach effectively. It helps maintain healthy gums, reduce plaque buildup, and lower the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. What should you use for interdental cleaning? The best tool depends on the size of the gaps between your teeth and your dental needs. Dental floss: Floss is useful for cleaning tight spaces between teeth. Gently slide it between your teeth and curve it around each tooth to clean below the gumline without hurting your gums. Interdental brushes: These small brushes are helpful for cleaning wider gaps between teeth, around braces, and in some areas around dental bridges. Choose a size that fits comfortably without forcing the brush into the space. Water flossers: These devices use a stream of water to remove food debris and help reduce plaque around the gumline. They can be useful for people with braces, dental implants, or difficulty using traditional floss. Floss picks: These can make flossing easier for some people, especially those who find handling regular dental floss difficult. Use them gently to clean the sides of the teeth. How often should you clean between your teeth? For most people, interdental cleaning once a day is recommended, along with brushing twice daily using fluoride toothpaste. If you have braces, dental implants, or gum problems, your dentist may suggest a specific cleaning method. Avoid forcing floss or interdental brushes into tight spaces, as this can injure your gums. If your gums bleed regularly, feel swollen, or become painful, consult a dentist rather than ignoring the symptoms. Which interdental cleaning method is best for you? There is no single tool that suits everyone. Dental floss often works well for tight contacts, while interdental brushes may be more suitable for larger spaces. A dentist can help you choose the correct tool and size based on your teeth and gum health.
