In the realm of oral health, the debate about the necessity of flossing has garnered attention from various news outlets. However, at Super Smiles Orthodontics, led by Cathy Hernandez DMD, we affirmatively say YES to the importance of flossing in maintaining optimal oral hygiene.
Regardless of whether you opt for traditional string dental floss, a water flosser, an interdental brush, or any other interdental cleaning method, the key is to ensure proper and daily cleaning between your teeth.
Amidst the wave of attention-grabbing headlines, it’s crucial to acknowledge that some news reports may provide incomplete or inaccurate information. Here’s the bottom line: When performed correctly on a daily basis, flossing effectively removes plaque and bacteria buildup between teeth.
Why is this significant? The accumulation of plaque and bacteria between teeth is a primary contributor to periodontal disease, a condition not only impacting your oral health but also linked to complications with diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and various systemic health issues.
During your next visit to Super Smiles Orthodontics, don’t hesitate to ask our hygienist to demonstrate the most efficient way to clean between your teeth. For further insights on flossing and interdental cleaning or to schedule an appointment, reach out to us today. Your smile deserves the best care possible.
