This post from Stephen Ratcliff Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Arlington TX focuses on flossing. Most Arlington men and women know that flossing is an important part of oral health. But did you know why?
Flossing offers a chance to remove bits and pieces that a toothbrush will miss. Cleaning between your teeth may help prevent cavities and gum disease.
You should floss at least once a day, the best time being right before you go to bed to remove any food and plaque from between the teeth and along the gumline. Flossing should be done with waxed floss, as it won’t shred between the teeth.
Daily dental hygiene including flossing, professional dental cleanings, and a healthy, balanced diet help keep gums healthy. For more information on periodontitis treatment, to schedule a gum disease exam or even if you just need a routine dental cleaning or a cosmetic dentistry consultation in the Arlington, Texas area, please call us today.
