And that by chewing it you are ingesting a bunch of microplastics? Please confirm if this is true. I don’t want to believe.
Side question: what alternative means is there for sustained, minty fresh breath that does not involve ingesting microplastics? (Mints don’t work that great imo, the freshness wears off too fast. Gum was my go-to. Now what is left?)
Floss mainly pushes the bacteria further down between your teeth and causes parodontitis. Use those wee brushes instead.
Sorry, I’ll listen to my dentist rather than a Lemmy comment.
Did you like, do your own research on Tiktok that said almost every dentist on the planet is wrong?
that isnt true at all, you are flossing wrong than. you arnt suppose to force the string into your gums. i rinse out the string in water every tooth gap.
What wee brushes are you talking about?
Interdentals. I like them but a dentist told me they’re basically just toothpicks, they don’t scrape the plaque off the sides of your teeth like floss. They’re great for getting food out, especially when you have small gaps between your teeth.
