A lot of people do not understand the importance
flossing has on your
overall oral health. Believe it or not, flossing every day can add up to six
years on your life expectancy, and it eliminates the potential for heart
disease, gum disease, and other harmful ailments. When bacteria are left to
harden and turn into tartar, a buildup of plaque can wreak havoc on your mouth
in a shorter amount of time than you may realize. At American Dental Excellence, we want to make sure our patients are
will informed to ensure clean, healthy mouth!
In order to floss correctly, you must be sure to maneuver the
floss up and down in between your teeth. This will be able to loosen and free
any remaining food or bacteria. You must also keep in mind that you have to get
below the gum line, and to form a C around the sides of the tooth. Be sure not
to press down too hard and damage your gums, as this can only do more harm than
good.
Flossing is beneficial, not only in keeping your teeth clean
and healthy, but also by being able to control bad breath. Without all of the
bacteria left sitting in your mouth, your breath will freshen and help you feel
more confident in your smile! Getting into the regular habit of flossing
everyday can give you a much better result when you go in for your dental
checkups, as well as maintaining overall health in your body!
