Dentist done scaling and polishing of your teeth and can demonstrate how to use dental floss. Dental floss are used to clean interdental areas where bristles of a tooth brush cannot reach. This prevents proximal or interdental decay or varies from happening. You need to floss everyday at home. Hope it helps. Cheers
