Why is flossing important?

Helmut U.
To prevent gingivitis and make your breathe fresh. It just makes you feel like an all-around clean person.
Chiara A.
Flossing removed bacteria and rotting food particles from between the teeth, where your toothbrush can’t reach. Flossing helps to heal and prevent periodontal disease which can cause/exacerbate many systemic diseases such as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and respiratory infections.

Flossing will help keep my teeth and gums healthy. It will make going to the dentist less of a pain.
Tamara U.
I want to keep my teeth. My teeth are important to me. I like when they shine white and bright. I don’t want heart disease. I don’t want gum disease.
