The Importance of Flossing - Dental Care One of the questions that we ask every one of our patients is how often do you floss your teeth? The most common answer we get is two to three times per week. While we highly recommend flossing once a day (preferably at night after you have brushed your teeth), we want to give our patients some other uses for all that dental floss that they have lying around! 5 Simple Uses For Dental Floss 1. Use unflavored dental floss to cut through cakes, soft cheeses, fresh baked bread, etc. Simply wind the floss around your pointer fingers and use a slight sawing motion to get the perfect slice! 2. Use dental floss to hang pictures, ornaments, and even wind chimes!
