What's more important for dental health: mouthwash or flossing?
flossing is better i know cause i have a 7 year old that has very bad teeth and i have to deal with dentist alot he has had to put to sleep and have 13


teeth fix at once and then they all started going bad again his fillings were falling out and part of his tooth broke off two days agoand he has to have a cap put on and they said that flossing is a must it keeps food from laying in there and causing it to make your teeth go bad his did and it got down in his gums and went in side his tooth and roted in side out thats why his tooth broke and pluse floss is small and can be carred any where
