Hi lybrate-user, Flossing helps in cleaning the area between your teeth which are otherwise not cleaned by brushing. It helps in removing the plaque and food deposits present thereby reducing the risk/chances of your teeth getting decayed. Even if your parents have never taught you this, it is very simple and easy. You need to buy floss, which is easily available, from any medical store and follow the instructions given on the pack. Do this on a regular basis after brushing twice a day and you will definitely feel a difference. Along with it, get a dental checkup done every 6 months. Thank you.

Floss is not a thread. It looks like one but it is little thicker and more surface area as compared to a thread. There are many types of floss available in market. You can use as per clinical situation of teeth. So kindly get a check up done so that dentist may clinically assess and advice you a type of floss .normally oral b gives a good floss .waxed and unwaxed. So as per clinical situation you can buy one.
