how does flossing prevent cavities?

436 viewsBiologyOther

I just had a crazy cavity filled and when I asked what caused it the dentist said I wasn’t flossing enough. I know it’s important to floss, but I don’t get how just not flossing every night could’ve caused so much breakdown inside my tooth.

Removes food that is stuck between teeth that would otherwise cause cavities (like potato chips)
