Flossing can increase interdental spaces.

Many people know about the benefits of flossing, but are afraid to use it so as not to push their teeth apart. This is another myth about dental care. In fact, flossing helps keep your mouth healthy. With floss, you can remove food debris and bacterial plaque from interdental spaces that are inaccessible to the brush. The use of a thread is very important and necessary, and its width and density are insufficient to affect the bite. Unaccustomed to flossing, your gums may bleed. This usually goes away after a few weeks. But, if bleeding continues, see your dentist to identify the cause and treat your gums.
