Does Flossing Push BACTERIA Into Your Gums?


Lots of people ask me, "when you push floss down below the gum line, don't you push the plaque deeper and trap bacteria?" Does Flossing Spread Bacteria? And the answer is NO! You're not pushing anything down, but instead you're scraping it loose and disrupting the plaque biofilm from your tooth, which in turn, helps prevent cavities and gum disease!
