3 Vital Reasons to Floss Regularly

reasons to floss your teeth

Flossing your teeth is one of those things you should do every single day in order to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Too many people skip flossing, though. In this post from Robert Matlach Dental in Huntington NY we’ll give you three very good reasons why you should make it part of your regular dental health regimen.

Three Vital Reasons

  • Fight Cavities

Every time we eat, food debris is left in the mouth. It accumulates in between teeth without us always being aware. Flossing gets rid of it and helps reduce the amount of plaque buildup.

  • Prevent Gum Disease

Plaque buildup also increases the risk of gum disease, a leading cause of tooth loss. Flossing is a great way to clear it out.

  • Freshen Your Breath

All that gunk between your teeth can lead to bad breath, and no one wants that! Brushing alone isn’t enough: floss it away.

Flossing your teeth is essential to good dental health. So are regular checkups at Robert Matlach Dental in Huntington NY. People from North Bay, East Smithtown, and South Melville come to us for general and cosmetic dentistry services. Request an appointment today!
