Floss Meaning in Hindi (Dental Care & Slang)

• दांत साफ करने का धागा (Daant saaf karne ka dhaaga): This is the literal translation for 'Dental Floss'.
• Medical Meaning: Floss is a very thin, strong, waxy thread. You slide this thread tightly between your teeth to scrape out hidden food particles and plaque that your normal toothbrush bristles are too thick to reach.
• Sentence Example:
  • English: The dentist told me to floss my teeth every night to prevent cavities.
  • Hindi: डेंटिस्ट ने मुझे कैविटी से बचने के लिए हर रात धागे से दांत साफ करने को कहा।

Dentists warn that brushing your teeth only cleans the front, back, and top of the teeth. If you do not floss, you are leaving 40% of the tooth surface completely uncleaned. Rotting food trapped directly between two teeth is the number one cause of bad breath and hidden tooth decay.

If a teenager talks about 'Flossing', they are probably not talking about their teeth.

• The 'Floss' is a wildly famous, viral dance move invented around 2016 and popularized by the massive video game Fortnite.
• To do the dance, a person keeps their legs still and violently swings their stiff arms back and forth across the front and back of their hips, mimicking the fast back-and-forth motion of using a giant string of dental floss.
