Many people fail to incorporate flossing into their daily dental hygiene routine due to a few common barriers. Firstly, flossing is often perceived as a difficult and complex task that requires coordination and dexterity that some people feel they lack. Additionally, flossing is widely seen as a time-consuming chore that is hard to fit into busy schedules, with people tending to prioritize quicker oral hygiene tasks. Physical discomfort or pain during flossing can also create a negative association, discouraging continued use. Finally, flossing is sometimes viewed as an optional or secondary part of oral care, causing many to simply forget or overlook this crucial practice. Addressing these key obstacles could help more people integrate regular flossing into their daily dental hygiene routines.
