Why does flossing matter?

Nothing is more flattering than a gorgeous, healthy smile, but taking care of your teeth and gums is about more than just good looks. Poor oral hygiene can cause cavities, tooth loss, and gum disease.

Gum disease can negatively affect heart health. The bacteria that causes gum disease can also get into the bloodstream and target the fetus, possibly leading to prematurity and low birth weight in babies.

Brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is a good start, but regular brushing may not be enough to clean out food particles, plaque, and bacteria from between teeth.

Toothbrush bristles aren’t small enough to clean effectively in these tight spaces. For this reason, interdental cleaning, such as flossing, is recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA).

Water flosser is one of best alternative to floss your teeth anytime anywhere.

There are plenty of travel-friendly models on the market that you can even take with you when you go on a business trip or family vacation. How to Choose a Travel Water Flosser?
