Flossing Daily – Dental Benefit
Flossing Daily is Good for Your Overall Healthcare.
By now, many people know that flossing daily is good for our oral and dental health. Daily flossing can help prevent tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease has been linked to many health concerns, such as diabetes, strokes, and heart disease, as well as low birth weight and premature births for babies whose mothers have periodontal disease during pregnancy. Dentists and dental hygienists always stress the importance of flossing to maintain healthy gums. With new studies linking many other health factors to gum disease and poor oral health, we are no longer flossing for good teeth but for good overall health care.
