“Can flossing whiten your teeth?”
I heard that flossing can help the way my teeth look. Can flossing also whiten my teeth?

Flossing will not whiten your teeth but it will help keep your teeth clean and plaque free!
No
If you pick up stain between your teeth, as added benefit of flossing could "whiten" the inter proximal (between the teeth) area.
Not really
Flossing may remove the stains from between your teeth, but not likely from the front of your teeth.
No flossing won't whiten your teeth; but flossing can prevent plaque and stain forming between your teeth and that helps keeping them clean and healthy looking.
Flossing will help remove build up and staining you get on your teeth which ultimately will help keep your teeth white
Flossing will generally clean between your teeth. It will only whiten your teeth if you have staining or debris between your teeth (which some people do get!).
No, sorry.
No unfortunately flossing will only help with him health and carie prevention. To make your teeth whiter you will need to use teeth whitening solutions
While flossing does not "whiten" your teeth, it does remove the plaque that can be a yellow to an orange color, which will make your teeth appear to be a different shade and even dull with no luster. Flossing will keep them looking cleaner and the gums healthy, which will give your teeth and smile a better over all appearance. In-office whitening or home whitening from your Dentist will then help your teeth to look their pearly white best.
Nope. Flossing can remove the yellowish plaque buildup from in between your teeth. It does not alter the color of your teeth.
Simple answer, no. Flossing removes food and plaque between your teeth to help keep your gums healthy and decrease chances of getting cavities that start between your teeth. Do it regularly for these reasons, not to whiten your teeth.
Flossing just removes plaque and food debris. It does not remove stain or whiten teeth.

Flossing may indirectly enhance the brightness of your smile by removing food particles and stain from between your teeth. The main way flossing improves the appearance of your teeth is by removing plaque and bacterial build-up to keep your gums healthy, which in turn helps keep your teeth healthy.
Flossing will help your teeth stay healthy, prevent cavity formation between your teeth, remove food from spaces between teeth, and prevent gum disease. It will not whiten your teeth.
