I believe flossing in an infected mouth can be a health problem, and unnecessary flossing or overflossing can easily make teeth sensitive, cause gums to recede, and put people at risk for pushing plaque bacteria into the blood, with the potential to contribute to plaque in arteries or worse. If you have a healthy mouth and like to floss, I believe the best time to floss is when you have toothpaste on your teeth, so a small amount of paste will be pulled and pushed between the interproximal areas between teeth. This way of using floss to move toothpaste could also be useful if you are trying to heal interproximal cavities between your teeth, since it will ensure the toothpaste has access to help mineralize these areas on your teeth. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
