DENTAL TOPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter THE FLOSSING SEQUENCE There is a reason dentists ask their patients at every visit if they floss their teeth. Flossing helps prevent gum disease and the sneaky cavities that form between teeth. And those who floss their teeth at all are already doing better than 70 percent of Americans. But it is possible you are making a pretty big mistake if you are flossing after you brush your teeth. Flossing releases food, plaque, and bacteria into the mouth, and if you have already brushed your teeth, all that is going to linger in your mouth until the next time you brush. Flossing first also makes brushing more effective by allowing toothpaste and bristles to reach areas that were blocked by food and plaque. P.S. If you are only going to floss once a day (twice is recommended) it is better to do so at night after you've finished eating for the day so that food does not sit between your teeth overnight. Everyone can benefit from preventive dental care. Experience proves it is to your advantage to take time for your oral health no matter how busy your personal or professional schedule. A few minutes spent each day on your teeth can not only help preserve good dental health, but it can also help you save on future dental visits. Nothing is more economical than regular dental checkups, so please let us help you take care of your dental health.
