Did you know flossing daily is just as important as brushing daily? Check out our top 10 reasons why flossing is an essential part of taking care of teeth and gums
Your gums play an essential role in keeping your tooth sturdy and healthy. In fact, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. One of the best ways to keep your gums healthy is by flossing because flossing cleans the area between your teeth which cannot be cleaned with brushing alone. Without flossing, your mouth is prone to gum disease. Gum disease can be a direct result of built-up plaque between teach, leading to gingivitis that causes gum disease.
Daily flossing can reveal potential cavities and swelling, requiring a checkup by your local dentist. It is also a great way to check your gum health by observing if your gums bleed or not if you floss. When your gums are free from bacteria, they no longer send blood to that area to fight infection. If your gums don’t bleed when flossing, it’s a great sign!
Taking care of your tooth health is a simple as getting regular mouth checkups and hygiene cleaning sessions combined with a great dental cleaning routine at home such as regular daily brushing and flossing. The area between your teeth accounts for 1/3 of the total teeth surface area, so cleaning it with regular daily flossing is just as important as brushing daily. Ask your dental hygienist to show you the best ways to floss and make sure the area between your teeth is cleaned properly without damaging your gums.
Flossing keeps your gums healthy, which results in healthier and whiter teeth. Red and swollen gums are signs of unhealthy gum, which is visible in the smile. In addition, unhealthy gums usually recede and reveal the root of your teeth, which can be more yellow than the rest of your teeth. By flossing daily, you can prevent gums from receding, therefore resulting in whiter teeth overall.
Bad breath is a result of bacterial growth in the mouth due to poor dental hygiene care. Food particles stuck in between your teeth can be the perfect environment for bacterial growth. Flossing is the best way to remove these food particles that are trapped between your teeth.
The health of the mouth and the heart are more related than you might expect. One of the causes of heart disease is bacteria entering your arteries through your mouth. With a great dental care routine, you can minimize the bacteria that enters your bloodstream, thereby reducing the chances of heart disease.
Unhealthy gums tend to bleed frequently due to bacteria in the mouth. The body’s defence mechanism in the mouth is to send blood to infected areas to fight bacteria. With frequent flossing, your gums are free from bacteria; therefore, your gums will stop bleeding!
It doesn’t take much for plaques to buildup on your teeth which can harden and turn into tartar. Tartar can be removed by your local dentist, however regular flossing is one of the best ways to prevent tartar buildup in between your teeth, thereby saving you from extra dental expenses!
Brushing alone is not enough to fully clean your teeth because around 30% of your total tooth surface area is in between your teeth. Although brushing is important, food particles that get trapped between your teeth can only be removed by flossing.
