How often should I floss my teeth?
Ideally, you want to be flossing your teeth at least once a day. If you floss and your gums bleed, that is a sign you should be flossing more frequently.
What kind of toothpaste is the best?
I always recommend to avoid abrasive toothpastes such as charcoal or whitening toothpaste. I recommend using one that has a low abrasive value such as Sensodyne Pronamel.
