Black Friday isn’t just for scoring deals—it’s also National Flossing Day! With the holiday season filled with sugary treats and festive meals, it’s the perfect time to focus on your oral health. Adding flossing to your daily routine is a simple way to protect your teeth and gums while keeping your smile bright. 

Why Flossing Matters

Flossing clears away food debris and plaque from the tight spaces between your teeth and along the gumline that a toothbrush often misses. This essential step helps protect against cavities, gum disease, and unpleasant breath. 

By keeping these spaces clean, flossing supports healthier gums and a fresher smile. 

Easy Tips to Build a Flossing Routine

  • Find Your Favorite Tool: Choose what works best for you, whether it’s string floss, floss picks, or a water flosser.
  • Establish a Routine: Choose a consistent time each day to floss, such as in the morning or before bed, to help make it a lasting habit.
  • Floss Effectively: Carefully slide the floss between your teeth, curving it around each tooth to remove buildup while being gentle on your gums.

Combat Holiday Sweets with Flossing

Sticky treats like caramel and sugary desserts can cling to teeth, increasing the risk of decay. Flossing helps remove this residue, keeping your teeth strong and healthy through every holiday feast and celebration.
