Dental Benefit, Only Brushing Your Teeth
There is some contention that brushing alone can do the very same thing. While brushing is designed to clean the surface of the tooth and remove the food particles that sit near the gum, brushing techniques need to be honed to finally do away with flossing all together and rely upon it alone.
Brushing must be done for three minutes and must be comprehensive around the entire mouth, front and back as well as top and bottom. The required timeframe is a far cry from the 46 seconds that most people floss for. So people will have to step up their game if they really want to get rid of flossing.
