That five minutes -- brushing and flossing -- every morning or night could save you from gum disease and tooth loss when you're older!
While most of us brush our teeth on a regular basis -- at least 2x a day -- most of us are not flossing nearly enough -- in fact a third of all Americans don't floss at all.
Spending 2 minutes flossing and 3 minutes brushing (or some combination that totals 5 minutes) could help you maintain a beautiful smile and healthy teeth for a long, long time.
An article in Reader's Digest Best Health, Are You Flossing the Right Way offers some great flossing tips, many of which are designed to show you how to floss better, floss longer and floss more effectively.
