Can I floss? *Molar Bands*

#1 Post by WanderingWallflower »

Hey I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can floss between the teeth where I got my molar bands? I currently have 3.. couldn't get the 4th because of an infection, waiting for that to clear up and then I will get the 4th but I was not informed whether or not I should floss between them. I got them yesterday.

Sure do the best you can back there. It's not easy. I also recommend a waterpik. It's a lifesaver.

Can this replace traditional flossing or no?

I wouldn't say it replaces, but I'll admit i use regular floss less than before I owned my waterpik. It does an excellent job.
