Flossing Should Be Part Of Your Preventive Dentistry (video)

stephenlega • November 24, 2017

Preventive dentistry is the most effective way to keep your mouth healthy.

This should include professional dental cleanings twice a year at our Columbia, SC dentist office. At home, it means brushing your teeth twice a day, and it means flossing daily .

We are emphasizing that because the day after Thanksgiving is National Flossing Day. It’s a good time to remind ourselves of the benefits of flossing.

Cleaning between your teeth and gums daily will remove food particles and plaque buildup from places that your toothbrush can’t reach. That will reduce your risk of both cavities and gum disease .

That’s also why we are sharing this short video by the American Dental Association demonstrating how to floss.

After you watch it, call 803-272-4162 or contact Total Dental Care of South Carolina online to schedule your next appointment with us.
