Why doesn’t floss remove all the plaque between my teeth?

After brushing and flossing I used a disclosing tablet. I had pink between every tooth even though I had just flossed! I flossed again and chewed another disclosing tablet. I still had pink between my teeth. I floss exactly how the dentists says to but it does not seem to work. What can I do?

You may need to have your teeth cleaned, what is staining may not be plaque, but deposits that have to be scaled off by the hygienist or dentist….
After that, I bet, you won’t have the pink stain….but good for you, and using the disclosing tabs!!!

Floss isn’t supposed to get rid of all the plaque. It’s just supposed to clean what a toothbrush wouldn’t be able to get to.
