A recent US survey revealed that a quarter of adults lie to their dentist about how often they floss between their teeth.
Key takeaways:
– Flossing removes bacteria that reside below the gum line, preventing inflammation of the gums
– Regular flossing is important as it can prevent gum disease, which is linked with more serious health conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and premature births
– Your dentist can advise on the best flossing technique
“More than one-third of Americans (36 percent) would rather do an unpleasant activity like cleaning the toilet (14 percent) over daily flossing.”
