Dental Flossing To Help You Prevent Gum Disease
14 Jun, 2016 10:00 AM
Dental floss helps to prevent gum disease by getting rid of pieces of food and plaque from between your teeth. Plaque is a sticky substance made of bacteria. If it builds up, the bacteria can irritate the gums and cause inflammation.
Flossing is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums. Molars Dental recommends flossing at least once a day to help remove plaque from the areas between your teeth where your toothbrush can't reach.
Keep in mind that flossing should not be painful. If you floss too hard, you could damage the tissue between your teeth. If you’re too gentle, you might not be getting the food out.
