Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental checkups are key to maintaining a healthy mouth and avoiding dental problems. When you brush your teeth properly, you are removing the plaque that causes tooth decay and can lead to gum disease. Flossing daily will remove the plaque from in between teeth that the toothbrush cannot reach. But with so many dental products available, trying to choose which ones to buy can be overwhelming.
The American Dental Association recommends that you floss your teeth at least once a day. When flossing, be sure to gently insert the floss in between the teeth, without snapping which could damage the gum tissue. Gently move the floss up and down into the spaces between the gum and teeth. Floss the sides of all of your teeth, even if there isn’t a tooth next to another one.
Whether you choose regular dental floss or dental flossers, depends on your personal comfort and convenience. If you prefer regular dental floss, you can choose from waxed or unwaxed, flavored or plain, gentle, or whitening, etc. There are also fork-shaped handles which can be used to keep the floss taut when in use, making it easier for people with arthritis or special needs.
There are many different types and brands of flossers available. Choosing the one that works best for you is a matter of personal preference. The perfect choice would be a flosser with a long handle and a compact head which would make it easier to hold and easy to get to those ‘hard to reach’ areas. A favorite flosser of many is the Reach Access Daily Flosser, which fits the perfect choice description to a “T” and also has a no slip grip. Some flossers are totally disposable where others may have disposable, refillable heads. There are also electronic dental flossers.
Dental picks help dislodge food particles before you brush and help to stimulate the gums. Many disposable flossers also have a pick at the opposite end. Reviews show that a favorite in this category would be the Crest Glide Floss Pick which is a white plastic dental device fitted with Glide floss and a pick. This is a great choice for people with limited hand and/or finger dexterity such as seniors, people with disabilities and even children.
The bottom line is: only you can choose the option that suits you best. The main thing is to choose and use. Make flossing a part of your daily regimen to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your smile bright!
