Is Flossing still Important?

February 8, 2017

In recent times there has actually been some controversy, is Flossing still important? Some professionals maintain that cleaning between teeth does nothing for overall oral health. However, the American Dental Association disagrees. They maintain that flossing actually cleans bio-particles that if left lodged between teeth will actually build into plaque in the long run. There are several other organizations that agree with them including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

According to these professionals, flossing once a day is the standard, preferably after every meal but at least once a day at night before you fall asleep.
