The Benefits of Good Brushing and Flossing Habits
Establishing and maintaining proper brushing and flossing habits provide multiple benefits for your oral and overall health:
• Prevents tooth decay: Brushing and flossing remove plaque, which is the leading cause of cavities.
• Reduces gum disease risk: Flossing helps to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis by cleaning between the teeth and along the gumline.
• Freshens breath: Effective brushing and flossing reduce bacteria that cause bad breath.
• Preserves teeth and gums: Proper oral hygiene keeps your teeth strong and gums healthy, reducing the need for costly dentist visits in the future.
• Improves overall health: Good oral hygiene may also reduce the risk of other health issues, such as heart disease, by lowering inflammation in the body.
