I Hate Flossing

Friday, September 13, 2013

Dentist hear these words a lot "I hate flossing!"

I understand, flossing is not the most fun or exciting way to spend your time but there are very few things you can do to improve your overall health that take such little effort, so little time and such a small expense.

Don't believe me? Think about the things we are always told we need to do to be healthier overall: exercise, eat right and avoid any vices like drinking or smoking.

I happen to love exercise so for me that isn't a chore but most people have to really force themselves to go to the gym or go for a run. Passing up the donuts and burgers is something we all know we should do but most of us give in to temptation - after all, we don't always have time to cut and chop our way to vegetable goodness for every meal. Smokers all know they should quit but it is very hard and having a drink with friends is part of the social fabric.

So just how does flossing improve your health? Flossing prevents gum disease (and some tooth decay). Gum disease causes inflammation throughout the body and has been linked to everything from heart disease to premature birth to certain cancers. Even dementia may have an oral health connection.

Flossing only takes a few minutes each day - you can do it at any time and any place. You can floss while watching TV or while reading a book. Keep a package of floss picks (those little plastic handles with a piece of floss attached) in the car and you can floss at stop lights!

Not sure about your flossing technique. Ask Shari or Katherine how it should be done at your next hygiene visit. Make your appointment today by contacting us at 561-394-9000.
