Flossing? Why you should make the time, trust us!

Maintaining good oral hygiene isn't just for basic hygiene, it's a lifestyle that we want to celebrate!

We often forget how crucial it is to take care of our teeth, but neglecting to floss is straight-up reckless. Read on and find out why it is so vitally important!

Fail to Floss?

It can cause major issues, like gum disease, cavities, bad breath, and even more serious health problems. At Paste Dental Belfast, we're here to help you avoid all that drama.

Gum disease is a total buzzkill that affects millions of people worldwide. Lucky for you, flossing or inter-dental cleaning is the ultimate way to prevent it.

Removing plaque and bacteria in those hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and gums by flossing or inter-dental cleaning deep into the embrasures will help reduce gingival inflammation and can help keep cavities from forming, so you can keep your pearly whites shining.

Want to be known as the breath of fresh air in your crew? Flossing is your new BFF. Regularly flossing, brushing, and using mouthwash will help you stay minty fresh by getting rid of food particles and bacteria that cause bad breath. And let's be real, who doesn't want to smell good?

But wait, there's more. By making flossing a part of your daily routine, you can save serious cash on expensive dental procedures like fillings, root canals, and tooth extractions. It's basically like getting paid to floss, #winning.

And don't forget, good oral hygiene is linked to your overall health. By flossing regularly, you're helping to keep serious health problems at bay, like heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia. It's time to prioritize your health and start flossing like a boss.

So let's do this! Choose the right floss, floss like it's your job, use the right technique, hit those back teeth, and be patient. At Paste Dental Belfast, we suggest flossing at least once a day, ideally before bed.

Let's make good oral hygiene a part of our lifestyle and start flossing today.
