Hopefully you already know that you should brush your teeth at least twice per day. But did you know that, in addition to brushing your teeth, you should also be flossing twice daily too? Lucky for you, WH
talked to expert dentists about how to floss properly. And spoiler: You re probably doing it wrong.
“Brushing your teeth only cleans three of the five exposed tooth surfaces,” explains
Bill Dorfman, DDS, a cosmetic dentist based in Los Angeles. “A toothbrush cannot clean in between your teeth, so if you don t floss, you are leaving dangerous bacteria in your mouth.” In addition to giving you bad breath (no one needs that!), this harmful bacteria can actually cause your teeth to decay. That’s why it’s best to floss a minimum of two times each day, but preferably after every meal, snack, or sugary drink, Dr. Dorfman explains.
Dublin s Q102 By Ellen Smith An expert has issued a warning about a recent trend on TikTok.
The conversation began over videos uploaded by user Luca Marchesi (@lucamarchesi lm), who revealed that he has been training his jaw to have a more defined and chissled look.
Luca, who has over 900,000 followers on the video sharing platform, describes himself as the CEO of jawline, having used mouth-exercise products to increase the definition of his face.
