How Important Is It to Floss Every Day?
Most dentists will tell you that it is important to floss every day and there are good reasons for this. One of the most important is that clean teeth are healthy teeth. Flossing on a daily basis is a preventative measure that can help to ward off serious dental health problems such as cavities and gingivitis and can also help to keep the breath fresh. Unfortunately, toothbrushes cannot clean between the teeth. While there are many models that can do a very good job of cleaning the surfaces of the teeth and getting into as many nooks and crannies as possible, the bristles simply can’t access the very tight spaces between the teeth in the same way that dental floss can.
