DENTAL TOPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter THE FINE ART OF FLOSSING It takes less than 24 hours for plaque to form, so it's crucial to floss at least once daily. Plaque forms under the gum line and between teeth where it's impossible to remove with a toothbrush. That's why it's important to bring floss under the gum line to remove plaque. Start with 18 inches of floss wrapped around your middle fingers. Gently move the floss between your teeth and under the gunline, rather than snapping it into place, which can irritate the gums. Press the floss into your gum line and then form a C-shape that wraps around the tooth. Gently move the floss up and down both sides of your tooth. Don't forget to floss the outside of your last molars. Another flossing option is using a water flosser before brushing to dislodge food debris and plaque. They are especially effective for those with braces. At CARPENTER DENTAL, are diligent in our ap- proach to making sure plaque build-up doesn't destroy your smile. It is our mission at 1086 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, to deliver the highest level of care, using the latest materials and always keep- ing our patients' comfort and well- being in mind. You can reach us at 570-331-0909. P.S. In general, children should begin flossing as soon as they have two teeth that touch, around two to three years of age. Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M.
