The Importance of Daily Flossing

Flossing removes 40 percent of plaque that brushing misses. I learned this after my dentist found

three cavities between my teeth. Those tight spaces trap food particles that feed bacteria

for hours. I started flossing before bed and my gum bleeding stopped within two weeks.

My next checkup was completely clean. One minute of flossing daily protects spaces your toothbrush

cannot reach.
