Hate Flossing? These 5 Things Will Change Your
Mind
The majority of individuals consider flossing to
be an obnoxious duty. The dentist on Chinguacousy
Rd understands we are all exhausted at night,
and that additional step seems to take an
eternity! However, the key is that it makes no
difference what time of day you floss. The key
to success is daily flossing. Even if you miss a
day or two, flossing on a consistent basis will
maintain your mouth healthy.
What Is the Purpose of Flossing?
Our immune system responds to irritants by
automatically delivering fluids to the region to
aid in healing. Consider piercing your finger
with a sliver. We experience swelling and
discomfort, and the sliver bleeds as we press it
out. This is the body's natural process of
mending, and the gums are no exception. We may
experience swelling, discomfort, or bleeding in
the gums, particularly following flossing. This
is the mechanism through which our body's
inflammatory response operates. Similar to the
sliver on your finger, this irritation and
bleeding are your body's attempts to irrigate the
food, plaque, and germs in your gums. When we
manually irritate our gums with flossing, this
inflammatory response is triggered. Many of my
patients tell me they avoid flossing because it
irritates their gums. You may experience more
bleeding initially, but the more flossing you do,
the less bleeding you will experience. There are
several benefits to flossing, and if you include
it into your routine, the time required to floss
decreases, and your mouth and gums get healthier,
resulting in them ceasing to bleed.

5 Reasons Flossing is Important

• Flossing removes 40 of the sticky bacteria, or
  plaque, from your teeth. Each tooth has five
  surfaces, and when we do not floss, two of these
  surfaces are quickly lost. Plaque accumulation
  can result in inflamed gums, tooth decay, cavity
  formation, and gum disease.
• When you floss, the rest of your body becomes
  healthier. By maintaining good dental health, you
  can lower your risk of stroke, diabetes,
  rheumatoid arthritis, lung illness, and heart
  diseaseall of which are associated with gum
  disease and periodontitis. Flossing helps prevent
  and eliminate plaque build-up between the teeth,
  resulting in a healthier mouth overall.
• Avoid gingivitis. Gingivitis is a mild form of
  gum disease in which the gums swell and bleed
  readily. When you brush or floss, healthy gums do
  not bleed. When your gums bleed, this is a sign
  that you should brush and floss more regularly.
• A low-cost, effective tool for maintaining a
  healthy mouth. Flossing is a low-cost, simple
  method of preventing tooth decay and maintaining
  a healthy mouth. While some doubt the efficacy of
  flossing, we know it is not futile and helps
  maintain healthy gum tissues. Additionally, your
  Dentist on Chinguacousy Rd can immediately
  determine if you have been flossing frequently
  during routine cleaning.
• Your grin will appear more attractive. Flossing
  will improve your breath, whiten your teeth, and
  give you a more confident grin. Spending only a
  few more minutes will improve your overall
  health, making this a simple commitment to
  yourself and your body.

How to Floss Properly by Dentist on Chinguacousy
Rd

1. Using 12 to 18 inches of dental floss, wind it
   around each middle finger, allowing an inch or
   two to work with.
2. Gently glide the floss between your teeth with
   your thumbs and index fingers.
3. Make a C-shape with the floss against one of your
   tooth surfaces.
4. Scrape across the tooth surface and beneath the
   gums as far as you can.
5. Rep this process by hugging the floss against the
   surface of the other tooth.
6. Remove floss by pulling it up and away from the
   teeth.
7. Rep this procedure tooth-to-tooth, using a new
   section of floss for each location. Remember to
   floss your molars' backsides and even the sides
   of teeth that don't have neighbours.
