The Joy of Dental Floss: Why Dentists and I Swear By It
Every visit to the dentist ends with a familiar joke: "You only need to floss the teeth you want to keep." Though it’s a joke, there's truth in it. I'm someone who genuinely loves to floss. Whether I'm in the car, watching TV, or winding down after a good brushing, flossing is a part of my routine.
The Importance of Flossing
If flossing isn't your favorite activity, you might not realize its critical role in oral hygiene and the fresh feeling it gives to your teeth. Imagine your teeth as boxes, with two visible sides and two against each other. A toothbrush can only reach those visible surfaces, leaving the in-between areas neglected.
Flossing is essential because it cleans the interproximal areas?"those spaces between your teeth and below the gum line?"where toothbrushes can't reach. Food particles trapped here create a perfect environment for plaque, which can eventually harden and lead to cavities. Regular flossing prevents this buildup, preserving your smile and eliminating a major cause of bad breath.
Introducing Dental Floss
Dental floss is a simple, thread-like tool, usually made of nylon. Available in various forms?"waxed, unwaxed, flat, round, textured, and even flavored with mint or infused with fluoride?"floss can be found in most drugstores.
My personal favorite is mint-flavored waxed floss. It’s easy to use and has a refreshing flavor. Here’s how I incorporate flossing into my routine:
1. Start with the Right Amount: Pull off a couple of feet of floss. It's inexpensive and makes the task easier.
2. Wrap It Around Your Fingers: Wind one end around your index finger securely. Do the same with the other end on your opposite hand, leaving about 1-2 inches of floss between your fingers.
3. The Flossing Technique: Gently push the floss between your teeth. Use it like a small brush, moving it against one tooth and then the other. Remove it carefully to avoid snapping, and repeat between all your teeth.
4. Maintain Freshness: After several teeth, unwrap more floss to use a clean section. This ensures effective cleaning and a fresh feeling.
The Benefits and Method
Flossing should be a pleasant experience, leaving your mouth feeling clean without needing artificial breath fresheners. Done correctly, it shouldn't cause your gums to bleed, unless you accidentally push too hard. A quick rinse with cold water usually resolves any bleeding.
A Word of Caution
Flossing can become a delightful habit. Once you experience the clean, fresh feeling, you might find yourself reaching for floss more often than expected!
Incorporate flossing into your daily routine to enjoy a healthier, brighter smile. Your dentist, and your mouth, will thank you!
