Asking For Self, Male 27, Quetta
Does flossing or interdental brushes useful and beneficials for keeping teeth safe. some people use these for cleaning food particles stuck inside or between teeth. some people say these make small holes inwhich always stuck food particles. Anyone for suggestions please.
Flossing is highly recommended for keep good oral hygiene.. all perceptions are merely myths
dental floss and interdental bushes are meant to keep interdental hard to reach areas clean they are useful and very helpful in keeping and maintenance of oral hygiene, you only have to be careful about the technique with which they are used.

I used this flossing for a week especially between gums and teeth then there became a minor space where food particles would enter more than past. I also heard that it weakens the tooth. It's difficult to describe the point, I don't know whether I conveyed what I wanted or not. would be better if I can have a voice call.
Please if you can say something about this.

It is advisable to use the floss twice a week for cleaning the interdental spaces, frequent use is advisable in exceptional cases, for better understanding visit your nearby dentist to learn the techniques according to your teeth type.

Aoa, if you use it in proper way then it's only usefull for interdental areas but in some cases, it is not helpful in cleaning interdental areas especially if you found any carious portion in them.. Better to use water flosser rather than interdental brushes

flossing is useful to get rid of plaque present in between the teeth what otherwise cannot be removed with brushing. inter dental brushes are normally used below the dental bridges and around the crowned teeth. if used correctly, these are very effective tools for tooth cleansing.

No, It doesn't weekens teeth. Infacts cleaning this interdental area prevents caries. If you feel more gap between teeth after flossing do once a day. For Further examination of your teeth plz visit to neatest Dentist.

Are these flossing also useful if used for molars and premolars teeth i.e using between the gum and tooth which we can call the underneath of these teeth. I heard that these make these teeth weak to be extracted or come out or make them weak to be broken.
secondly I used these flossing for a week then everything would stuck in teeth so then I left using these flossing and then I was restored to the previous conditions i.e nothing would stuck in the teeth. It is difficult to describe, I do not know wether I conveyed what I wanted to say or not.
dear patient
the above methods are for prevention of food being impacted in between teeth. tooth picks are not to be used between teeth as they create bigger spaces.
if you have food lodging issues please MAKE an appointment

yes not only useful, flossing is as important as brushing.
