Flossing is often the unsung hero of oral hygiene. While brushing your teeth gets a lot of attention, flossing is just as important for maintaining a healthy mouth. Let’s explore the significance of flossing and guide you through the proper technique to ensure you’re reaping its full benefits.
Kids might not keep their baby teeth for long, but that’s no reason to ignore proper dental hygiene. Aside from the risk of getting cavities, untreated gum disease compromises kids’ ability to eat well, sleep properly, and function at home and school. Plus, healthy baby teeth keep jawlines straight and hold the space for adult teeth to grow in.
Studies have shown that despite constant reminders about the importance of regular flossing, a large number of us are failing to do it. What is even more surprising is that over 25% of us actually lie to our dentist about our flossing habits.
Tooth plaque is very common and almost everyone gets it. Plaque is a film that forms when oral bacteria builds up on your teeth. When plaque remains in your mouth for too long, your teeth suffer. Plaque eats at your teeth and makes them weak. This can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
