Frequently asked questions about the Platypus Flosser

Should you use your Platypus Flosser before or after cleaning your teeth?

Flossing is an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene. It helps to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. However, when it comes to the order in which you should floss and clean your teeth, there are differing opinions.

Some people believe that you should always floss before brushing your teeth. The idea behind this is that by removing the plaque and debris from between your teeth first, you’ll make it easier for the toothpaste to reach all surfaces of your teeth. This will then ensure a more thorough clean overall.

Others argue that flossing after brushing is more effective. They believe that by brushing first, you’ll loosen any trapped particles from between your teeth, making them easier to remove with dental floss.

How many times a day should I use the Platypus Flosser with braces?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy, especially when you have braces. Braces can make it difficult to clean your teeth properly, leaving food particles and bacteria to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Flossing is an important part of the daily dental routine but how often should you floss when you have braces?

Dentists generally recommend that people with braces floss at least once a day. This will help remove any lingering food particles or plaque that may be stuck between the wires and brackets of the braces. However, if you notice that food gets stuck more frequently or experience gum sensitivity, you may want to consider increasing your flossing frequency.

Flossing with braces requires a bit more effort than flossing without them, but it’s essential for maintaining oral health.

What happens if you forget to floss with braces?

Wearing braces can help straighten your teeth, but it also requires extra care to maintain good oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing are crucial to prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay. However, if you forget to floss with braces, there could be some serious consequences.

First of all, food particles and bacteria can easily get trapped in between the wires and brackets of your braces. If left unchecked, this can lead to plaque buildup that may cause gum disease or cavities. Failing to floss regularly with braces means that you are not removing this buildup effectively from hard-to-reach areas.

Moreover, ignoring flossing while wearing braces can cause bad breath or halitosis. The residual food particles stuck in the brackets create an ideal environment for bacteria growth which results in a foul odor emanating from your mouth.

Do I need to floss after every meal with braces?

The short answer is yes – you should floss after every meal when you have braces. Braces create lots of nooks and crannies where food particles can get stuck, and if left there for too long, they can cause tooth decay or gum disease. Food particles that are left in between your teeth or under your wires for extended periods may also begin to produce unpleasant odors.

I’ve been struggling with flossing ever since I had braces put on. It was nearly impossible to thread the floss through my teeth. I saw the Platypus Flosser and decided to try it out. I’m so happy I did! The flosser makes it easy to get to those hard to reach places and it’s gentle on sensitive gums. It’s a great tool for keeping my teeth and gums healthy.
