Deep dives

Flossing for Oral Health

Flossing is crucial because 30% of the bacteria in the mouth resides between teeth. Flossing twice a day is recommended to ensure thorough cleaning, and using satin tape is preferred over string floss for gentle and effective cleaning. Overzealous brushing, gum disease, genetic factors, and poor oral hygiene habits can contribute to gum recession. Flossing not only helps prevent decay and gum disease but also reduces inflammation and systemic health risks like Alzheimer's disease and chronic kidney disease.
