FLOSSING

Is it ok to floss your teeth at work?

I have seen many people brushing their teeth but only some people do flossing at their workplace.

“In some workplaces, your co-workers might give you a funny look if they catch you flossing in the bathroom. In places like Brazil, everyone in the office goes into the bathroom to both floss and brush after lunch time (which is awesome!).”(Burhenne, 2013, para.1).

FIVE REASONS.TO FLOSS YOUR TEETH DAILY:

3.     Flossing help prevent disease.

4.     Flossing also banish bad breath.

5.     Flossing removes food stuck in between the teeth.

Types of floss

Depending on the condition of your gum and space between the tooth, floss are of two types.

(Floss)

Waxed or String floss is used when the space in between the tooth is tight.

Unwaxed or filament floss is used if you have larger space in between the teeth.
