When you’re finished opening all your gifts from under the tree, there’s always one more thing to look forward to: the stocking! Beneath all of the gift cards, sweets, and trinkets, you find a particularly interesting wrapped square package. After ripping it open with curiosity, you find a small package of minty floss.

Although you have many other gifts to look forward to this year, floss is one of the gifts that you should get a lot of use out of this year! If you’re properly taking care of your teeth, you should be flossing once a day for better oral health. Your dentist recommends thanking whoever gifts you the tools to take care of your smile. They have your best interest and smile in mind.
