Flossing Facts

Flossing is very important. In fact, flossing is vital for a top-notch oral health and smile. This is why our dentist, Dr. David Blackhurst, strongly encourages you to floss at least once a day. To help you understand why and to help you make flossing a priority, our dentist is happy to share some flossing facts. Those facts are:

-Flossing can help you avoid cavities and gum disease, which are two of the most dangerous dental issues in the world today. This is because it removes the plaque from between the teeth and along the gumline.

-There are many tools available to help you floss your teeth, like dental floss, flossing picks, water flossers, floss threaders and more. Feel free to choose whichever product you like to clean your smile!

-You need to be gentle as you floss. This is because if you force the floss into place or use a vigorous flossing technique, the gums could be damaged. It’s best to keep your gums in tip-top shape by being gentle as you floss.
