Flossing is Beneficial For You

Flossing removes food particles from between the teeth. This is important because food particles collect between teeth and create plaque, which hardens into calculus. Plaque and calculus irritate the gums, which causes them to pull away from the teeth. This places the teeth in a vulnerable position, which leads to the development of cavities.
