the real reason we brush and floss our teeth #shorts
Many of us were taught that brushing and flossing are essential for preventing cavities. However, the implications of these habits extend far beyond this single benefit.
Oral hygiene is not solely about preventing cavities. Consistent brushing and flossing can also mitigate issues such as gum recession, bad breath, bleeding gums, and gum disease. These conditions, if left unchecked, can lead to severe outcomes like tooth loss.
Dentists recommend brushing twice daily with proper technique. In addition, flossing or using interdental brushes or water flossers at least once a day can further support your dental and general health.
Making these practices a routine part of daily hygiene can lead to improved dental and overall health. It is never too late to start refining these habits. Investing time and effort into proper oral care can contribute significantly to both oral and systemic well-being.
