Flossing your teeth is a good habit to get into for your overall dental health.  If you only brush your teeth and not floss, you are only cleaning 60% of your teeth! 

By flossing just once a day, you can decrease your risk for gum disease, have fresher smelling breath, and you will remove the plaque that hides between teeth which promotes tooth decay and gum disease. 

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day.  Flossing is essential to clean food debris and plaque from between teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. 

Just a few minutes of your time each day reduces your risk of gum disease such as periodontitis. If you want clean, healthy looking teeth, the benefits of flossing cannot be overlooked.   Flossing should become part of your daily dental care routine.  You will soon notice healthy looking gums, clean teeth and fresh breath.
