Top Benefits of Flossing Your Teeth


Posted on 1/11/2021 by Thomas Mahar
Top Benefits of Flossing Your TeethMany people often overlook the need to floss their teeth, and some also consider it as an optional dental practice. However, the truth is that flossing is actually a very important aspect of good dental hygiene, and it also offers a plethora of health benefits.

Dentists also recommend people to floss daily in addition to brushing the teeth.

Take a look at the top benefits of flossing your teeth.

Cleans the Gaps In the Teeth


If you've ever noticed, brushing doesn't completely remove food from your teeth, especially from between the gaps in your teeth. That's where dental floss comes into the picture as it helps clean out the gaps in your teeth. This greatly helps prevent plaque build-up, thereby reducing the risk of gum disease, cavities and tooth decay.

Prevents Bad Breath


Bad breath is a common issue faced by a lot of people, and some even complain that the odor lingers throughout the day. If you are also in the same boat, it's possibly because you don't floss your teeth.

Dental floss is a highly effective tool that helps prevent bad breath by removing food debris trapped in the gaps between your teeth. Daily flossing will keep your breath fresh and prevent the accumulation of food particles in your teeth.

Improves the Health of Your Gums


People who experience sensitive or bleeding gums often avoid flossing because they are afraid of worsening their gums. However, in actuality, using a dental floss improves the health of your gums, and also reduces bleeding and sensitivity.

Prevents Build-Up of Tartar


Flossing not only prevents food accumulation, but also the build-up of tartar in your teeth. Daily flossing removes plaque from the surface of your teeth, thereby preventing it from hardening into tartar.

At Mahar Dental, Dr. Mahar and Thomas F. Mahar, DDS stress the importance of flossing as part of your daily rountine. Book an appointment and get a check-up done soon.
