If you have more time in the morning, then do it at that time and skip it at night. It\u2019s always doing things if you have the time and when is comfortable for you. It\u2019s recommended to do it at night, but if you\u2019re not  able to, then do it when you have time. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pauline T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to floss a little after my last meal of the day. To make it less tedious, I also like interdental brushes and use either or, sometimes both. I love the feeling of my clean mouth. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Miroslawa J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Everyone is different but I honestly prefer to floss at night before bed. I have a complete routine that my dentist recommended and have noticed a difference in how cleaner teeth and gums make less instances of getting sick.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tiago Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me it is in the evening after I have brushed them. It allows me to get out any left over food from the day and any that my toothbrush has missed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rudolfo Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve been told the best time to floss is before bed, but I feel like my teeth are cleaner if I also floss in the morning before leaving for the day. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Frederik Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Honestly, the best time of day to do it is the time of day you are willing to do it. It really doesn\u2019t matter when &#8211; all that matters is that you do it!!<br \/>\n(This is also the recommendation of the American dental association)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Philomena M.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I was told by a dental hygenist that if I were to choose one time a day to floss my teeth, the best possible time is at night before bed so that stuff isn\u2019t stuck between my teeth and causing bacteria to eat away at them all night long. That\u2019s where most cavities come from. So that\u2019s what I do now! And the dentist was very impressed with my teeth when I went in a few weeks ago!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Evelyn U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to do it in the evening, before going to bed. Getting all the days junk outta my teeth just feels so good. I got too many things to think about in the morning and often running late, so night time seems as the best option anyway too. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzanne B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At night so the guck doesn\u2019t stay on your teeth all night long. But, I am usually too tired at night so I floss in the morning.  But at least I try and do it EVERY day!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mya O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to floss at night before bed. It makes me do it, it\u2019s an easier ritual because I\u2019m not as rushed as in the morning, and I like the idea of my teeth being clean all night long.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lewis G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At night. Sleeping dries out your mouth causing the acid created by bacteria to get concentrated. If you disturb those colonies by brushing and flossing they won&#39;t build up as much acid at night, and you&#39;ll save your teeth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fredi P.
