Dental Floss To Help Prevent Gum Disease...
18 May, 2016 3:25 PM
Many types of dental floss are available, either from your dentist or local retailer. Choose one that is best for your teeth.
If you have very tight contacts between your teeth and floss snags or breaks while trying to manoeuvre it through the contact, look for one that is specifically designed for tight contacts between your teeth.
If you have limited dexterity, try using one of the many flossing aides designed to eliminate the need to use both hands while flossing. Try to choose floss that contains fluoride.
When you have finished flossing, follow with brushing and rinse with either water or mouthwash. Try to floss before every brushing.
If you do not have time for flossing in the morning, always floss in the evening before your final brush of the day.
