Authors

Abstract
The article discusses why oral health is improved with the use of dental floss to clean places between the teeth, despite the removal of flossing from the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans due to lack of reliable evidence about its effectiveness. Topics discussed include the role of flossing in removing food particles from between teeth, which eventually develop into plaque, and flossing as a means to prevent plaque and an inexpensive way to remove plaque.
