Myth: Only Flossing When I Have Food Caught in My Teeth
No, you shouldn’t just floss your teeth when you have food caught in your teeth. While that seems to be the go-to reason, that is not the reason you should be doing it. In fact, flossing is healthy for your teeth, as it removes dental plaque from between your teeth. Plaque if you didn’t know is the dangerous stuff that if is left in between your teeth will make your gums inflamed and lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
Myth: Flossing Is Difficult
For the beginners, yes flossing can be hard to do. That is because the technique is not simple in the first place. How do you get a thin strip in between your teeth to clear out everything in between them? There is a simple technique in which you get a long piece and put them in between the adjacent teeth on both sides. And then with one clear swoop, it is all cleared out. Practice makes perfect.
Myth: Flossing Is Painful & Hurts Too Much
Flossing regularly shouldn’t cause too much pain. But the first few times it might hurt a bit. That is not because of anything special or bad. It is because your gums are not strong enough to deal with it. It is like exercising: the first time it is painful, but then you get used to it. Keep flossing away and you will notice that the pain leaves. If the pain persists, look towards getting your floss material changed or speaking to a dentist.
Myth: Stopping To Floss if My Gums Bleed
The first time you floss you will notice that your gums might bleed. Hell, even if you floss and you haven’t done it in a while and you floss again, you can bleed. There is no reason to panic if you do. It is common thread that happens to a lot of people and it happens because your gums are not exposed to such intensity and therefore, require you to do it on a regular basis. The more you do it, the less bleeding happens and the more comfortable you will be.
