Why Flossing Matters — With Lily, Our LS ToothBuddy

Brushing misses almost half of each tooth's surface — the bits between your teeth. Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, shows why flossing matters and how to do it gently, in under a minute.

Here's What's Going On

Brushing alone misses the tight spaces between your teeth, about two of every five surfaces.

That's where floss comes in, reaching the plaque a brush simply can't touch.

Floss once a day, gently sliding it up and down each side of the tooth.

Hug each tooth in a soft C-shape, and don't snap it hard against the gums.

If regular floss is tricky, a water flosser or floss picks can help too.

How to Protect Your Teeth

Clean between the teeth every day, and see me at LS Dental for a check-up!
