We beat up and take advantage of our gums everyday. We even
forget to say thank you to them by not flossing. Reclaim your promise to your gums during this
dental season help restore their health. You only have one set of teeth and
they can last a lifetime if you take care of them. Not taking care of them
causes seriously dental consequences.
Show your teeth and gums your love by flossing just one time
a day. Go to the store and find a floss that is easy to use, with the right
flavor that is going to get you motivated to floss. Some individuals prefer to
have flossers instead of regular dental floss or unwaxed floss. Your
periodontist Dr. Denine Rice, does not care what kind of floss you use, it is
just important to use it.
Dr. Rice suggests, “Start by flossing at the same time every
day. It takes twenty-one days to create a habit.” It will create consistency if
you floss everyday at the same time. Habits are created, by completing an
action repetitively and flossing at the same time will help keep this important
task at the forefront of your brain.
Put the floss out on
the counter where you can see it. It’s harder to ignore something you are
supposed to do if it is staring you in the face. Brushing is unable to remove
food from below the gum line and between the teeth, while flossing is the only
activity that saves your gums from gingivitis and periodontal disease. It can
also save you from a lifetime of overall decline in your health.
