DENTAL OPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter WHY FLOSS? Daily flossing is essential to proper dental hygiene. Forgoing flossing can promote plaque between teeth and along the gum line. Over time, increased plaque on tooth enamel increases the risk of developing cavities. Regular flossing removes small food particles and plaque build- up and aids in preventing gingivitis and gum diseases. It also reduces halitosis (bad breath), the result of decaying food trapped between teeth and gums. Proper oral hygiene not only benefits teeth and gums, it may also benefit heart health, too. A 2019 study showed that participants who practiced high oral hygiene standards also had decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Professional dental cleanings every six months are highly recommended to monitor and maintain overall dental health. And while it is true that brushing and flossing may take the lead in the fight against food and plaque build- up, the main causes of decay and gum disease, it is equally important to perform these oral hygiene routines correctly for maximum results. Your family dentist can show you the most effective way to brush and floss your teeth. Remember, a sure investment in your future is a visit to your dentist today. This column is brought to you in the interest of better dental health by CARPENTER DENTAL, 1086 Wyoming Ave, Forty Fort. Phone: 570.331.0909. P.S. Flossing stimulates blood flow to the gums, which helps fight bacteria growth in and under the gums. Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M.
