The Power of Flossing
Don’t miss the hidden mess.
40% More
While brushing remains the cornerstone of dental hygiene, flossing can remove up to 40% of plaque that brushing alone leaves behind.
1x Daily
Dentists recommend flossing once a day — preferably before bedtime to prevent debris build-up overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use The Usuals™ Floss Picks?
Gently guide floss between teeth. Slide floss up and down along each tooth. When using the fold-out dental pick, gently glide the pick between your teeth and softly work it in and out to loosen food particles. Dispose of floss pick after each single use.
Are The Usuals™ Floss Picks safe for children?
Adult supervision is recommended for children under the age of 10.
How often should I floss?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends flossing at least once daily. Flossing before bedtime may be more ideal to avoid having debris stuck between teeth for a prolonged period of time.
Do kids need to floss?
Research suggests that as soon as your child has two teeth that can touch, or can potentially have debris stuck between them, they should begin to floss. This is often as early as two to three years of age.
Should I floss before or after brushing?
Evidence shows that flossing prior to brushing may help remove more plaque between the teeth. This also allows the process of brushing to wash away extra debris that becomes loose during flossing. Flossing before brushing may also be more effective at maintaining fluoride levels on tooth enamel.
What does it mean if my gums bleed when I floss?
It can be common to see blood when one does not floss as frequently as one should. With continued flossing, however, you will likely notice less bleeding as your gums become healthier and stronger. If bleeding continues or gums remain red or swollen, contact your dentist.
In what other ways can I contribute to my dental health?
Good oral hygiene plays a part in your overall wellness. In addition to flossing once daily, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you brush your teeth for at least two minutes, twice daily. Using mouthwash after brushing and flossing can also help protect your mouth and teeth from harmful bacteria. Avoiding overly sugary foods and beverages is also a good idea to help promote oral health.
