Flossing and using a water pick serve different purposes in oral hygiene, and both can be effective in preventing cavities. Flossing is particularly good at removing plaque and food particles from between teeth, where cavities often begin. A water pick, or water flosser, is effective at flushing out debris and can help reduce gum disease but may not be as effective at removing plaque. Ideally, using both in conjunction can provide the best protection against cavities and promote overall dental health.
