Never Floss? You’re Not Alone
If you never floss your teeth, you are in the same boat as a third of US adults.
CDC researchers asked more than 9,000 Americans aged 30 and over about their flossing habits.
32.4% said they didn’t floss their teeth at all. 30.3% who said they flossed daily and 37.3% flossed at least once.
The study found that men are less likely to floss than others.
A dentist says flossing prevents tartar buildup. Tartar can attack teeth and gums, eventually causing teeth to fall out.
