  1. Love the tying together of floss idea, but I cannot believe you missed interdental brush use.
    Floss only goes so far.

    1. My son is a dentist, people don’t like to floss, Interdental is flossing alternative & this is what ADA puts out:” However, daily habits such as interproximal plaque removal have yet to be established by many people. Effective removal and disruption of plaque within the oral cavity is not achieved by simply brushing. Floss, which would be preferable to using only a toothbrush, is not used by the majority of the population on a regular basis. Therefore, other alternatives should be investigated as a means to maintain lower interproximal plaque levels. Interdental brushes serve as an alternative to flossing; they can be used daily and can be more effective for interproximal plaque removal than floss as suggested by a number of studies.”
