Flossing: The Small Step That Makes a Big Difference
By Regency Dental Group
Brushing your teeth? Essential.
Flossing every day? Just as important.
Floss reaches the spots your toothbrush can’t — removing plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline. Skipping it can lead to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease (even if you brush like a pro).
The good news? It only takes a minute or two a day to protect your smile for the long haul.
Pro tip: Not a fan of traditional floss? Try floss picks or a water flosser — the best kind of floss is the one you’ll actually use.
Tiny habit. Big payoff. Your gums (and your dentist) will thank you.
