Water Flossers vs String Floss - An Overview

Flossing is just as important as brushing when it comes to taking care of your teeth. Both procedures share a common goal: to eliminate plaque build-up and the colonies of harmful bacteria that live within it.However, brushing removes plaque only from the front and back of your teeth, while flossing attacks the microbes between them, where the most destructive bacteria lurk.Failure to get rid of plaque from these less accessible places can result in problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (damage to the bone and soft tissue that support the teeth). The Canadian Dental Hygienists’ Association asserts that regular flossing reduces plaque and gingivitis.
