Flossing is probably not your favorite part of the day. In fact, more than a third of people would rather do an unpleasant task like sit in traffic or clean a toilet. But flossing is a very important component to having a healthy mouth and a spectacular smile. Give your gums and smile the care and love they deserve and start flossing!

Feeling Guilty About Not Flossing? Maybe There’s No Need

It has been something of an open secret among experts that flossing hasn’t been shown to prevent cavities or periodontal disease.

Not flossing is like rolling the dice on your smile! According to Dr. Aldredge gum disease is a very insidious, slow, bone-melting disease. Don’t take the risk and keep up your oral hygiene routine of flossing, twice daily brushing, and an annual visits to your periodontist!

New Report Suggests There is Little Evidence That Flossing Works - NBC News

For decades, Americans have been told flossing is essential for good dental hygiene, but a new report suggests there is little evidence to back that up.

With little evidence to back up the claim that flossing is not essential, the AAP (and other dental professionals) stand strong that daily flossing, brushing twice a day, and seeing your periodontist regularly are the best tools for a spectacular smile and a healthy mouth!
