The benefits of flossing can have a really positive increase in your oral hygiene. Flossing daily can reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth. If you don’t floss and chose to leave the tiny food particles in your mouth then the bacteria will have a field day, pretty much having a picnic on your mouth’s left overs. These nasty bacteria then produce acid which will slowly erode your tooth enamel. Also flossing helps to get rid of tartar. Plaque that forms and settles in between your teeth will harden and form plaque. It can only usually be removed by a dentist then. Good tooth brushes can rid your mouth of alot of plaque but not the plaque between the teeth. Good oral hygiene (including flossing) can help with bad breath and other nuisances such as halitosis and bad breath.
Oral B Essential Floss is a good product to go for. It is very reasonably priced at £1.89, is waxed and slides in between the teeth quite easily.
