Flossing is often overlooked in a daily dental routine. However, it is an essential part of oral hygiene that should not be ignored, owing to its functionality, benefits, and importance. In this blog post, we will discuss why it is important to floss every day and the modern way of flossing.
What is Flossing?
Traditional flossing involves using a thin, nylon string to clean the areas between your teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach. By removing food particles and plaque buildup from these areas, tooth decay and gum diseases can largely be prevented. Using a string to floss can however lead to issues like bleeding and can also be difficult to use at times.
On the contrary, advanced flossing uses a pointed stream of water to clean the gaps between the teeth and gums. It is termed an oral irrigator and is most commonly known as Water Flosser.
Why is Flossing Important?
Flossing is as important as brushing and should certainly be a part of everyday dental care routine. Here are some reasons, why:
- Removes Plaque and Tartar: Brushing alone cannot remove all the plaque and tartar buildup between your teeth, especially manual toothbrushes that are not capable of reaching the deepest corners of the mouth where most bacteria reside. Water Flossing, thus helps to remove these harmful substances, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
- Prevents Gum Disease: Gum disease is largely caused by the buildup of bacteria in the gums, which can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and eventually tooth loss. Flossing helps to remove bacteria from these areas, preventing the onset of gum disease. With 0.6mm fine water jet spray, it becomes even easier to reach the tiniest and hardest-to-reach pockets of the mouth.
- Freshens Breath: Food particles and bacteria trapped between teeth also lead to bad breath - a problem faced by many. Flossing helps to remove these particles and bacteria, leaving the breath fresher and cleaner.
- Saves Money: Finally, something that excites the most of the audience. Regular flossing can certainly prevent costly dental procedures such as fillings, root canals, and extractions, saving you money in the long run. That being said, it is ideal to visit your dentist for regular check-ups so anything concerning can be spotted early on and treated immediately saving trouble as well as finances.
