Flossing helps because it dislodges any food from between the teeth, which prevents them from decaying. By looking after your physical wellbeing you are taking care of your mental health. If you are happy with and confident in your appearance this helps you maintain a positive outlook. As a result you will show off your smile more often and have a greater sense of overall wellbeing.
It helps keep plaque at bay (and I’ve gotten better feedback at my dental checkups since I started taking it seriously). Floss gets in between the little parts of your teeth that your brush can’t reach. Not to mention it’s a godsend when a pesky piece of food gets stuck in your teeth.
It’s an easy task that takes less than 3 minutes to do and it reduces gum bleeding and inflammation as well as makes 6 month dental cleanings easier, quicker and less painful.
Brushing your teeth helps you keep them clean, but not completely. The toothbrush can’t reach the spaces between your teeth where pieces of food are stuck. Brushing is only 60% of the process. Flossing is just as important as brushing if you had eaten solid food.
My challenge is remembering to Floss and sticking to it even when I’m tired. I start off okay but over time I put it off to another time and fall off routine. What helps you to keep up a flossing habit?
Better smelling breath. Less staining on my teeth. Teeth are cleaning. No cavities. No left over food trap in the retainers and being stuck overnight
To floss your teeth, you need floss 😂 also you need to set aside an extra 2-3 minutes when restarting/starting to floss, you will hurt and even bleed for about a week while your gums get used to being cleaned. It helps prevent plaque buildup which cause cavities.
Dental work is extremely expensive and uncomfortable. Do yourself a huge favor and spend just 60 seconds a day flossing to help avoid the future physical and financial pain of extractions, fillings, bridges, and gum surgeries.
I floss my teeth at the end of the day. It is in my evening ritual. It is a way of slowing down and telling me that it is time to go to sleep. And it is good for my health.
Flossing helps you remove food from spots your toothbrush can’t reach and prevent subgingival tartar. Flossing daily will keep your gums healthy, preventing irritation and bleeding and it also lowers the chances of getting cavities
