Foods that require flossing after eating

Having food stuck between your teeth is uncomfortable. Flossing helps to remove food in-between teeth and prevent plaque. Here are foods that require you to floss after eating.

Key takeaways:

– Popcorn and potato chips get lodged in between teeth and form plaque.

– Broccoli, spinach and pineapples are healthy and harmless but require flossing after consumption.

– Caramel and toffee candies get stuck in-teeth and could cause cavities if not removed.

Floss softly at least once a day to avoid tearing your gums. Also, visit the dentist for professional cleaning and checkups.
