20 Things That Can Ruin Your Smile (from Yahoo)

#16 : Not flossing

"Flossing every day is one of the best things you can do to take care of your teeth. It's the most important factor in preventing periodontal disease, which affects more than 50% of adults," says Meinecke

i regularly floss my teeth at home and i prefer the F-shaped floss because it's easier to be used.


Flossing helps:

1. remove plaque and debris that sticks to teeth and gums
2. polish the tooth surface
3. control bad breath

trust me. brushing and flossing teeth are equally important! :)



from Wikipedia:

Flossing in combination with toothbrushing can prevent gum disease, halitosis, and dental caries. Regular flossing is also linked to reduced incidence of heart disease. Flossing is correlated with greater longevity, potentially as a result of the prevention of gum inflammation.


start flossing now(!) :)
