Flossing

By Regency Dental Group

Flossing is an essential part of oral hygiene that helps remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth, areas a toothbrush can’t reach. Regular flossing reduces the risk of gum disease, cavities, and bad breath by preventing the buildup of harmful bacteria. It’s best to floss at least once a day, ideally before brushing, to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy. Whether you use traditional dental floss or floss picks, the key is consistency. A simple habit can make a big difference in maintaining your smile and overall dental health for years to come.
