Why is it important to floss?
Flossing helps prevent cavities in areas that your toothbrush just can’t reach. Dislodging stuck food particles will deter decay. It will also reduce the development of plaque around your gums which helps prevent periodontal disease.
If these health reasons aren’t enough, consider this: flossing regularly means that your breath will smell better because you will eliminate the bacteria and food particles that cause bad breath.
Flossing doesn’t take much time and has many benefits. If it’s not part of your daily oral healthcare routine, we urge you to start flossing today.
