      1. Will dental floss make the gaps between teeth wider?
      
      This worry is unnecessary. In fact, because the texture of dental floss is very soft, it will not hurt the teeth compared to toothpicks. Generally, flossing once a day is enough, but if you have sparse teeth, you will have to carry floss with you everywhere. When flossing after each meal, try to make the floss reach deep between the teeth and enter the bottom of the gingival sulcus to clean the gingival sulcus area, but be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the periodontal tissue.
