Flossing


     A dentist in cherry Creek says that the use of dental floss is a very important part of our oral health. Dental floss is made of nylon fibers and is used to scrub out in between the teeth. This is a great way to remove bacteria and food particles that are stuck between the teeth without us even knowing they are there. Those who floss on a daily basis enjoy life with a healthy mouth.

     When flossing, make sure to floss in between all teeth, even those that are located in the far back of the mouth. Make sure to remember that you are flossing as a way to scrub the sides of the teeth. The bristles of the toothbrush sometimes can’t reach in between the teeth and need help. Make sure to floss under the gum line, whereas this will remove a lot of bacteria and germs that could be causing oral health problems.

      The dentist in Cherry Creek says “if you have a hard time remembering to floss, a good idea is to floss after each time you brush. Doing so will help you get into the habit of flossing every day.” Flossing is a big part of having a good oral health and should be done on a daily basis.
