Listen to Your Dentist And Floss Daily

07 Mar 2022

You may tire of hearing your dentist ask you to floss daily, but the advice is sound. Brushing only cleans the surface of the teeth, missing about one third of surface area. It takes less than 36 hours for food between the teeth to turn to tartar that can only be removed by professional cleaning. Daily flossing keeps tartar buildup to a minimum, promotes healthy gums, and combats bad breath.
