Helps Eliminate Plaque
Flossing regularly can help eliminate plaque buildup from between the teeth and prevent oral health issues like gum disease.
Reduces the Chances of Cavities
Flossing between your teeth at least once a day will help remove concealed food particles and plaque buildup, as well as reduce your risk of tooth decay.
Prevents Gum Disease
Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day help in the prevention of gum disease. Professional cleanings performed every six months can also help maintain your gums healthy.
Reduces Bad Breath
Halitosis (bad breath) is a common issue. Flossing is one of the techniques which you can use to keep bad breath at bay.
