A member asked:
Some of my teeth i only manage to floss it half way up instead of right up to the gum. will this cause plague build up at the very top inbetween them?

Floss'em or Loose'em: YES! If you are finding it difficult to floss, have a professional dental cleaning and then consider using GumChucks dental flossers. See www.GumGhucks.com Remember you only need to floss the teeth you want to keep!
