The Truth About Flossing

By Regency Dental Group

Flossing often gets skipped, but it plays a bigger role than most people realize. Your toothbrush can’t reach between teeth, which is where plaque loves to hide.

Flossing daily helps remove buildup, protect your gums, and reduce the risk of cavities in those hard-to-reach spots.

It only takes a minute—but it makes a lasting difference.
