How many of you floss daily? While tooth brushes have gotten better at cleaning the areas between your teeth, they still aren't as effective as flossing. One way of flossing besides using the standard floss is the wooden floss picks that look like toothpicks. You basically poke between your teeth to clean them out. I still think the standard floss is better at reaching all the areas between your teeth. By flossing you should be able to save money on your dental insurance by having less or no cavities when you visit the dentist.
