Why is flossing important?
Flossing is important because it removes plaque and food particles from between teeth and below the gum line, areas that a toothbrush can’t reach, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
You should use dental floss that suits your needs, such as waxed floss, unwaxed floss, dental tape, or pre-threaded flossers. Ask us what type we recommend for your unique needs at your appointment!
