Flossing - Oral Health

If you want to keep your teeth for life, brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss properly once every day. Flossing “remove[s] plaque, the colorless film of bacteria that forms on the surface of teeth.” If you fail to remove plaque, it will build up, and you will eventually find yourself suffering from problems such as tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss.
