Flossing is also helpful in removing food particles like green leafy vegetable, meat between your teeth.

Flossing should be per-formed between each contact between 2 teeth. Flossing is just as important as brushing in the prevention of dental decay and periodontal problems (Problems related to structures & surrounding of teeth).
