1. Removes Plaque and Debris
- Plaque Buildup: Brushing on
- 2. Prevents Gum Disease
- Gingivitis Prevention: Plaque that remains between the teeth and along the gumline can cause inflammation, leading to gingivitis (the earliest stage of gum disease). Flossing helps remove this plaque, reducing inflammation and promoting healthy gums.
- Periodontitis Prevention: If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. Flossing is a key preventive measure.
- 3. Reduces the Risk of Cavities
Cavity Prevention: Food particles and plaque trapped between the teeth increase the risk of cavities in these areas. Flossing helps remove these particles, lowering the chance of decay.
4. Maintains Fresh Breath
Prevents Halitosis: Bacteria and food trapped between teeth can cause bad breath. Flossing removes the debris that contributes to foul odors, helping to maintain fresh breath.
5. Supports Overall Health
Oral-Systemic Health: Poor oral hygiene, particularly gum disease, has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Regular flossing helps maintain oral health, which is closely connected to overall health.ly cleans about 60% of the tooth’s surface. Dental floss helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth, which are the most common areas for plaque accumulation. - Prevents Tartar: If plaque is left on teeth, it can harden into tartar, which requires professional cleaning to remove. Flossing regularly reduces the risk of tartar formation.
