• You Should Floss If flossing isnt part of your
  everyday oral health routine, it should be. That
  is, if you want healthy gums and teeth.
• The recommendation from the Australian Dental
  Association is that adults and children floss
  their teeth once a day for at least two minutes.
  Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled
  toothbrush is also recommended.
• Here are a few reasons why you should floss
  regularly.

FEWER CAVITIES

• Flossing removes plaque and reduces the risk of
  dental cavities or caries. Plaque is a sticky
  film that accumulates around and between teeth
  and along the gumline. It forms when bacteria,
  acids, food and saliva mix together.
• Dental plaque, when it isnt removed through
  flossing (and toothbrushing), can cause tooth
  decay, dissolving tooth enamel and creating
  cavities. When it hardens and turns into tartar,
  then gum disease may develop.

GUM DISEASE PREVENTION

• Gum disease can be unpleasant. It can even be
  dangerous. Pain, tenderness and bleeding are
  common gum disease symptoms. Serious infections
  may cause gum recession, tooth loss and systemic
  health problems.
• Typically, gum disease begins with mild gum
  inflammation known as gingivitis. It then
  progresses over time to periodontitis.
  Fortunately, you can prevent gum infection
  altogether with daily flossing and brushing.

FRESHER BREATH

• Suffer from halitosis? Chronic bad breath is an
  embarrassing problem that can cause significant
  psychological distress, but flossing every day
  can help keep the condition under control. See
  halitosis treatment.
• Food that gets stuck between the teeth when we
  eat naturally decays with time. The result,
  generally, is foul-smelling breath. By flossing
  to remove the food particles (and plaque), you
  can eliminate the foul smell.

LOWER RISK OF HEART DISEASE

• Consistently flossing and brushing your teeth is
  the way to go if you want a healthy,
  fresh-smelling mouth. However, there is evidence
  that the benefits of good dental hygiene extend
  to the cardiovascular system as well.
• In a 2019 study, for example, researchers found
  that improved oral hygiene care was associated
  with a lower risk of heart failure and atrial
  fibrillation amongst participants. Both are
  potentially deadly diseases.
• As you can see, its important to floss and brush
  your teeth daily for not only dental but also
  physical health. Thorough cleanings by a
  professional dental hygienist every six months
  can be highly beneficial, too.
