I have to use a plastic floss needle sometimes, you thread the needle with floss in order to get floss between teeth when there is some food stuck in there.
Amazing that people are wondering what the "scientific" value in getting food particles out of your mouth.
I floss daily and sometimes twice a day. I keep floss at my desk at work and some mouthwash to kill some of germs that get stirred up. It is easy to fit that in when thinking through a problem.
I also take vitamin C twice a day. My dentists always comment on the good health of my gums and say "you take vitamin c don't you?" At 62 I want to maintain my gum and teeth health.
