Brushing teeth remove food debris, plaque and bacteria from all tooth surfaces, except between teeth. Unfortunately, our toothbrushes cannot reach these areas that are highly susceptible to dental caries and periodontal (gingival) disease.
Daily flossing is the best way to clean between teeth and gum line. Using dental floss not only helps clean these spaces, but also destroys plaque colonies and prevents gums, teeth, and bones from being damaged.
Plaque is a thick, almost invisible movie formed on the teeth. This is a growing number of live bacteria, food residues and saliva. Bacteria produce toxins (acids) that cause tooth decay and stimulate and stimulate gums. In addition, when the plaque above and below the gum line is not removed, it will harden and become tartar (tartar). This will further stimulate and stimulate the gums, and it will also slowly destroy the bones. This is the beginning of periodontal disease.
How to use floss correctly
Take a 12-16 inch (30-40 cm) floss and wrap it around the middle finger, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of floss between the hands.
Use the thumb and forefinger to guide the floss and use a sawing action to gently insert the floss between the teeth.
The dental floss is bent into a "C" shape around each tooth and below the gum line. Gently move the dental floss up and down to clean the side of each tooth.
If you have trouble using traditional dental floss, we recommend using a dental floss holder.
Daily floss can help you stay healthy and beautiful!
