I understand the concept of flossing, but have trouble doing it.
I tried using floss string, and could not force it through the gaps between my teeth as it felt like I was pulling my teeth apart.
I tried interdental brushes, but they were even worse, even with the thinnest brush, it would not get through the gap.
Now, since my teeth are so closely joined, does this mean bacteria cannot get to my gums?
I use mouthwash, and after gargling with it and swishing the stuff around my mouth, when I spit it out, I see nothing. Whereas other people have lots of "bits" when they do it.
I only worrying about flossing (which I have never actually tried), because although I brush regularly, have healthy teeth and have never had any dental work done, my teeth has a horrible yellowish tint, which the dentist says is normal, but people with worse teeth than me, have whiter teeth.
I read we have small cracks in the teeth which bacteria use to enter teeth and make them yellow. Is this true
