Floss your way to health

There are several reasons why you should floss everyday. One is that it helps to reduce the build up of dental plasque, and secondly it helps to minimize the build of tartar on the teeth. With plaque and tartar build up you can accelerate the decay of the tooth and gums.The goal of flossing your teeth (and brushing too) is to scrub dental plaque from the surface of your teeth. After a tooth’s surface has been cleansed the process of dental plaque formation will begin immediately, but it will take about 24 hours for the dental plaque to reform fully, hence the once a day recommendation for flossing your teeth.
