We all need to floss each day but not everyone follows the wise advice of their Stockton dental office. Why is flossing necessary? Every time we eat food can get stuck and lodged in between the teeth and this will cause bacteria to build up. This bacteria starts to grow and it will lead to plaque and tooth decay. Flossing allows you to gently remove the food and reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth. If you don’t floss and leave the food in there, you may notice that most of your cavities actually form in between your teeth.

Flossing is vital to proper oral health care. It’s one of the best things you can do to keep your gums and teeth healthy. Plaque often builds up at the gum line and many of us do not take the time to remove the plaque through brushing. Flossing can penetrate just below the gum line where the bacteria starts to build up so that it won’t be able to start eating away at the tooth. Failure to remove this bacteria also leads to gum disease and several other dental problems.
Speak to your Stockton family dentist if you are concerned about flossing. You only need to do it one time a day to properly remove the food from the teeth. Keep flossers or dental floss with you so you can floss after meals. Flossing also helps to cut down on bad breath as the food that leads to the buildup of bacteria actually causes the smell to occur.
Your dentist will be able to teach your proper flossing tips such as how to hold the floss and how to gently insert it in between the teeth and to avoid making the gums bleed. They will also show you how important floss is to your oral care needs as it can remove plaque and bacteria that a toothbrush just can’t quite get to.
