A finished at the School of Dental Medicine, Dental Medicine Harvard University student recently told me that the floss in a way that clicks right away - no pun intended. And in fact, this statement is more appropriate for this holiday season:

If you plan to put your hand in a bowl of mashed potatoes and your hand go with mashed potatoes topped up! It would Goo on the front of the hand, back of the hands, fingers and even the middle. Tongue with a washcloth would be forced to clean debris!

Suppose you have selected the wipe option. First you need to clean the back of the hand as the tongue side of the toothbrush. After the palm clean, corresponding to the clean side molar. For the purposes of this story, do not let clean pretend between the toes. Just let it sit there and get mashed potato crisp. The smell worse, potatoes collect mud. It is - I've been running to a sink to clean between your fingers!

Well, between the teeth cleaning is the same. If not flossing when two teeth touch, food and waste in all together. and eventually cause collects bacteria and dirt decay of the teeth. Of course, no one will see it as a gesture, but the concept is the same.
