Example of floss brands
Floss at least once a day. Choose the type and flavor that you like best. Flossing daily greatly helps to prevent any plaque build-up in hard to remove areas between the teeth. The tooth brush can remove up to 90% of plaque, but it still cannot reach the small areas between the teeth. This is where floss comes into play. When you floss: ☺Break off about 46 cm of dental floss. Wind most of the floss around the middle finger on one hand, and the rest around the middle finger on the other hand. Grip the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers. ☺Guide the floss between your teeth using a rubbing motion. When the floss reaches your gum line, curve it against one tooth. ☺Slide the floss into the space between your gum and tooth. Uses the floss gently rub the side of the tooth in an up-and-down motion. Repeat the procedure to the rest of your teeth. ☺After flossing, have a cup of tea and don’t forget to smile. It doesn’t matter whether you want to brush first and then floss or vice versa. However, flossing before brushing might allow more fluoride from your toothpaste to reach between your teeth.
Losing a tooth or more may start many consequences and the most obvious is your smile. Other than that, your chewing function will be lost and the inability to consume a complete diet. The worst effect and less known is the bone loss. Your jawbone needs the chewing action to stimulate and keep your jaw strong. Otherwise the atrophy or disappearance of jaw may occur. So, without the support of your teeth and facial bones, your face will begin to look prematurely aged.
Dental implants are precision devices, available in several patterns to your specific needs. The most common type is a titanium screw that is anchored into the jawbone where it serves as post for a custom-made tooth crown. Once the crown is in place, you may not be able to tell it apart from your natural teeth.
