BE FLAWLESS... NOT FLOSSLESS..!

Are you flossing regularly?” is probably a question you get asked every single time you visit the dentist. And that’s because it’s important! Many people hate the feeling of moving a piece of floss between their teeth, and therefore leave flossing out of their daily teeth cleaning routine. But just brushing your teeth often isn’t enough to remove plaque and prevent cavities. Helping you maintain a healthy smile by protecting your teeth and gums and protecting you from other diseases, here’s why flossing needs to be a part of your daily routine.

HOW TO OBSERVE FLOSSING DAY
Commit to flossing at least once a day:
Flossing is not only essential to your oral health but also your overall health. So by committing to flossing once a day, you’re committing to keeping yourself healthy. Schedule a time — 2 to 3 minutes — every day when you would floss.

Visit the dentist:
If you haven’t visited the dentist in a long while, here is the perfect time to do that. Book an appointment with a dentist or check your calendar for your closest free day and make that appointment. Remember that your oral health is your overall health.

Educate other people about the health benefits of flossing:
Flossing Day is all about raising awareness of the importance of flossing to people’s oral health. You can contribute to that effort by encouraging your family and friends to floss every day. Also, you can use social media to influence people within your network to start flossing.

WHY FLOSSING DAY IS IMPORTANT
Flossing keeps your teeth healthy:
According to the American Dental Association (A.D.A.), employing interdental cleaners such as floss help prevent the buildup of plaque in-between the teeth. Without flossing, the plaque buildup can lead to gum disease or cavities.

Flossing promotes overall body health:
Excellent oral health means a healthy body. The mouth is the window to various parts of your body, including the heart, and when it’s not properly taken care of, it causes several health complications.

Flossing is good for your appearance:
In addition to other good oral practices, such as brushing, flossing helps ensure healthy gums, whiter teeth, and a brighter smile. You can keep the confident vibes flowing by flossing away the trapped little bits of food in your mouth that can cause a real stink. It’s true; a comprehensive oral care routine will reward you with fresh breath.

5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YOUR TEETH
Teeth are not bones:
Although the human teeth and bones are primarily made up of the same material and contain nerves and blood, teeth do not produce bone marrow – unlike bones.

They’re the hardest substance in the body:
Contrary to popular opinion, tooth enamel is harder than bone, making it the hardest part of the body.

Teeth can’t self-repair:
Because teeth are coated in enamel, which is not living tissue, they cannot repair themselves once damaged.

Teeth are unique to each person:
Like your tongue print and fingerprint, no one has the same set of teeth as you do. So why hesitate when you can take care of your teeth with just a few careful steps.
