Dental floss is an essential oral hygiene tool used to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and below the gumline where a toothbrush cannot reach. The best type of floss depends on your specific dental needs, such as the tightness of your teeth spacing, the presence of dental work, and gum sensitivity.
Why use it
Prevents gum disease: Removes plaque that causes gingivitis and periodontitis.
Fights decay: Reduces plaque buildup, a primary cause of tooth decay.
Freshens breath: Eliminates odor-causing bacteria.
Reaches difficult spots: Cleans areas a toothbrush misses, like gaps between teeth and below the gumline.
When to floss
At least once a day, ideally at night before bed, when saliva is lower and plaque is more concentrated.
A pack of quality dental floss is available in our dental clinic.
