If you are only brushing your teeth you are only doing half the job. Cleaning between your teeth every day can have a crucial impact on your oral health, that is why it is important to make sure and floss daily.   If you have a tough time reaching certain parts of your mouth to floss, ask your dentist about interdental brushes, floss aides, or water or air-flossing devices.
