Dentist says better than floss: Xylitol (video)


Truth about flossing we aren't being told
I'm a dentist so I know flossing is not the answer.
(Dr. Ellie Phillips) July 11, 2023: drellie.com The truth about flossing teeth. Most of us have been told our entire life to floss teeth daily because flossing is the staple of a healthy mouth. This is what we are told by dentists, TV, family, and friends. But it's not true, well, not exactly. It could cause harm. There are better things to do (xylitol sugar, licorice, massaging, etc.)
