WHY IS BRUSHING & FLOSSING SO IMPORTANT?
Brushing only cleans two aspects of your teeth, the front and the back. Sometimes the bristles of a toothbrush can go slightly interproximal (in between the teeth) however, they CANNOT go fully in between the teeth.
FLOSSING cleans either side of the tooth, NOT the front and back of teeth.
Therefore ONLY brushing and flossing TOGETHER can clean the entire tooth!
