At New Image Dentistry, we hope you're not a part of the 51 percent of Americans who don’t floss daily. Or worse, we hope you're not part of the 10 percent who never floss at all. Dr. Blourchian and our staff will always tell you that proper flossing is just as important for your dental health as brushing regularly. Flossing cleans food and plaque that build up between teeth and below the gumline, key areas that brushing simply cannot reach.
Flossing 3-to-5 minutes everyday is recommended, but even 60 seconds of flossing has a great benefit over not flossing at all. Also, make sure to always brush your teeth after you floss, and to rinse with water or mouthwash. When you begin flossing you may experience gum pain or bleeding, but with daily flossing and brushing this should stop within a week or so.
On a side note, has it been at least six months since your last checkup at our office? If the answer is yes, we encourage you to schedule an appointment by calling (615) 591-4490!
We hope you're enjoying your summer! Be sure to post your summer photos on our Facebook wall!

ReplyDeleteFlossing is very important in maintaining good oral health. There are some bacteria that a toothbrush can't reach, so we need to floss daily. But still we need to pay regular visits to our dentists. If you worry about your childhood dental trauma, you need not worry anymore. There is already sedation dentistry. Chicago spearheaded the dissemination information of having good oral health and the downside of having bad oral health. A lot of people became aware about dental health in Chicago. Sedation dentists also participated in explaining the benefits of sedation dentistry. Today, dentistry is not just cleaning and stuff. As the world changes the field also changes and branch out like cosmetic dentistry (Chicago). A lot of new fields and ways of making our teeth healthy and protected are now available in a snap!
ReplyDeleteBrushing and flossing are two basic things that are always recommended by a dentist to keep teeth clean. If there is anyone is not flossing start it from today its not too late.

If you use dental floss incorrectly, it can damage your gums. You should therefore follow your dentist's advice about using dental floss, including how often you should use it.

Nice Blog..:) Flossing is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums. The American Dental Association recommends flossing at least once a day to help remove plaque from the areas between your teeth where your toothbrush can't reach.

Flossing should be part of good oral hygiene habits. If you don't floss, cavities can start to form in between your teeth where your brush cannot reach. Cavities, or tooth decay, can cause an increase in sensitivity to hot and cold as well as to sweets.

Right Dr. Magdalena de Angelis..Cavities may also start to cause pain when they get too bad. Detecting cavities that form in between teeth can be difficult and may only be found with dental exams in Jacksonville.

Flossing can help prevent bad breath. If bacteria and food particles are left in between your teeth it can actually cause really bad breath.

Great Post...Floss made from silk fibers twisted to form a long strand. But today, floss is usually made from nylon filaments or plastic monofilaments. It may be treated with flavoring agents, such as mint, to make flossing more pleasant.

It's not too bad if you think about it and if you ask your dentist they'll show you how to floss the right way.
