plaque and food particles that the normal tooth-brushing process can't remove. It is something you will have noticed, if you are careful observer of mechanical phenomena, that there are some areas of your mouth (and precisely in the 'teeth portion' of it) that never get cleaned during the ordinary teeth-brushing process, as carried out using a toothbrush and toothpaste. The areas in question are, of course, the spaces between your various teeth. That space between a tooth and its adjacent 'neighbor:' who cleans that? Ordinary toothbrush bristles are too thick to go through there, and in any case, they still wouldn't adequately clean that very thin space. We need something more here and this is what dental flossing is all about. The dental floss is a very thin thread-like material that can not only be conveniently pushed into those inter-teeth spaces, but also moved up and down to have a cleaning effect. From all this, it becomes clear that dental flossing plays an important supplementary role to tooth-brushing. It also becomes clear that if all you are doing is brushing teeth, and never flossing the teeth, then obviously, you are not practicing proper oral hygiene. Seen from this perspective then, the need to undertake dental flossing on a daily basis becomes very clear.…
contributor. I click on contributor and see that she has done two educational films. Again, I would say that’s a one. How many different works in the collection were written by Candace Millard? It looks like she wrote three and contributed to two. I would say that is again a one. Interviewer: Okay, and again, how familiar with The Destiny and what words would you use? Interviewee: I definitely thought it was very creative. It’s pretty easy to use. It’s very straightforward. Very clean.…
and floss your teeth. Brushing doesn’t remove bacteria that is stuck between the teeth. That is why it is necessary to floss. There are many types of floss. There is waxed floss, unwaxed floss, floss threaders, super floss, floss picks, and oral irrigators. Oral irrigators are now used in replace of a regular dental floss. A power floss is a type of oral irrigator. The first oral irrigator was introduced in 1962 by dentist Gerald Moyers and an engineer John Mattingly. There have been studies…
Flossing Alternatives For Those That Hate To Floss It may be true that you should floss every single day, but many people intentionally avoid doing it. It may be due to flossing feeling like a tedious task, or they do not like the feeling of the floss wrapped around their fingers. Flossing still should be done to ensure healthy teeth. Thankfully, there are some other ways to clean those small spaces between your teeth. Interdental Brush An interdental brush is a tiny brush that can get in all…
Americas floss their teeth daily. Flossing helps remove remaining bacteria in your mouth. When bacteria and saliva mix, it causes plaque. If plaque is not taken out it can turn into tartar. Bacteria also causes periodontal disease which can lead to tooth decay, receding gums, and tooth loss. Many people decided not to floss because they see no results from it. There may be little evidence that flossing works, but it is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums. In a group of people…

Unfortunately, you are really selling your oral health short if you are still refusing to floss your teeth. To make sure that you have a healthy mouth and prevent plaque buildup and gum disease, you need to make sure that you are…
preparation on my own without much difficulty. Transferring my plate from the counter to the table required minor problem-solving skills but no disturbance. Alternating hands while eating is something I do regularly, therefore, I did not have any issue with feeding. I experienced the most turmoil during grooming activities. To get ready for bed, I would first brush my teeth, floss, gargle with mouthwash, perform my face cleansing routine then perform my hair care routine. I do this for 30…
Powered toothbrushes are also an option depending on personal preference and needs. One should also decide on a toothpaste that best fits them. Some toothpastes are very basic and simple, while others may have added benefits such as, whitening, mouthwash strips, flavorings, different textures, to name a few. Along with brushing, daily flossing is equally important. Flossing removes plaque and debris from in between the teeth where toothbrushes cannot reach. Flossing can be done before or after…
such as teeth eroding or health problems. Many people start going to the dentist in elementary school. Although you can go just for a basic cleaning, most people don’t have insurance to cover the cost. That’s why I would like to provide mobile services to children in school. More kids would be interested in going to the dentist if they could be educated on the importance of their teeth while also having fun. I would provide it to kids in Middle Tennessee. Oral hygiene is…
