Flossing your teeth is one of those things you should do every single day in order to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Too many people skip flossing, though. In this post from Steven T. Cutbirth DDS in Waco we’ll give you three very good reasons why you should make it part of your regular dental health regimen.
1. Helps Fight Cavities
Every time we eat, food debris is left in the mouth. It accumulates in between teeth without us always being aware. Flossing gets rid of it and helps reduce the amount of plaque buildup.
2. Helps prevent gum disease
Plaque buildup also increases the risk of gum disease, a leading cause of tooth loss. Flossing is a great way to clear it out.
3. Freshens your breath
All that gunk between your teeth can lead to bad breath, and no one wants that! Brushing alone isn’t enough: floss it away.
Flossing your teeth is essential to good dental health. So are regular checkups at Steven T. Cutbirth DDS in Waco. People from Woodway, Hewitt, and Robinson come to us for general and cosmetic dentistry. Schedule an appointment today!
