Today we would like to share with you an article from www.howstuffworks.com on most patients least favorite topic, flossing! "If you're like a lot of people, your first response to your dentist's flossing recommendation may be "I brush my teeth, so I'm fine." While brushing your teeth twice a day will go a long way toward maintaining oral health, you're not getting the optimal cleaning if you leave the floss unused in the back of your medicine cabinet."
Here are five reasons why flossing is essential to your overall health:
- Flossing Prevents Tartar Buildup
- Flossing and Brushing Are More Effective Than Brushing Alone
- Flossing Protects Your Gums, Too
- Flossing Can Save You Money (yes, that's right!)
- Flossing Helps Prevent Other Diseases
To read in-depth about each one of these important reasons to floss, visit: http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/oral-care/products/5-reasons-flossing-is-important.htm
We suspect that this lady is imagining all the health and cost benefits she'll reap from flossing daily.
