Benefits of using dental floss
Using dental floss regularly is an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene. Here are some key benefits:
- Removes Plaque and Food Particles: Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between teeth and along the gum line, areas that a toothbrush might not reach1.
- Prevents Bad Breath: By removing bacteria and trapped food, flossing can also help prevent bad breath.
- Reduces Risk of Cavities: Regular flossing can reduce the risk of cavities by removing plaque that can erode tooth enamel and develop into tartar.
- Helps Prevent Gum Disease: Flossing can help prevent gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, by removing plaque that causes inflammation around the gums.
- Contributes to Overall Health: Good oral health is linked to overall health. Flossing can contribute to better health outcomes by reducing the risk of conditions associated with gum disease.
Remember, it’s not just about flossing, but flossing correctly. It’s recommended to use a gentle motion to scrape the tooth from the top down, avoiding snapping the floss into the gums to prevent harm.
