Does flossing really cause gaps between your teeth? This common dental myth has been around forever, but the truth is simple: flossing does not make your teeth spread apart. In this video, I explain why gaps may appear more noticeable after flossing, what’s actually being removed from between your teeth, and how not flossing can lead to gum disease, bone loss, and worsening gaps over time. If you’ve ever been afraid to floss because of this myth, this will clear it up once and for all.
