Flossing
If you do not floss, you miss cleaning about 35% of your tooth surfaces.
More dental problems are caused by inadequate flossing than any other activity.
90% of the general population once they reach the age of 35 has some form of gum disease. Proper daily flossing and brushing would dramatically reduce this.
In North American alone, over three million miles of floss is purchased over the course of a year
