Do you floss your back molars or just in the gaps?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Flossing your back molars is just as important as flossing the gaps between your teeth. The back molars are often more prone to plaque buildup and cavities due to their location and shape. Make it a part of your daily ritual to floss all your teeth, including the back molars, to maintain optimal oral health. Establishing this habit can enhance your overall well-being and contribute to a healthier routine. Remember, consistency is key in developing lasting habits!

If im in a rush, then just the main culprits and gaps, if there’s time I will floss everything. Remember the 'c' swoosh motion!

I think I only floss gaps, but I still do all the gaps even in the back teeth. Primarily because I make the effort to brush back there often. However, I think I should start flossing back there.

Well, things in your teeth can rot and that’s one reason of bad breath and a very common one. I recently got myself a water pik and it has already helped! If you don’t have one, do your best to keep your teeth clean so yes you defiantly could or use a different tool like a tooth pick? Always clean everywhere in your mouth!!

I try to floss them but to be honest with you and myself I usually just floss the gaps I take my time and it’s always a satisfying task for me I personally enjoy flossing more than brushing my teeth also i read somewhere that the food stuck between our teeth can ferment.. since then i never skipped it it’s one of my strong standing habits that I’m proud of and that I usually use to habit stock some more beneficial routines!
