The “F” Word

August 14, 2013
Comments are off

Yes, flossing.

That dreaded word we hear from the hygienist and the dentist. Brushing your teeth is very important but flossing is even more important when it comes to preventing periodontal (gum) disease and tooth loss.

Within 24 to 36 hours, plaque hardens into tartar, also called calculus, which can only be removed by professional cleaning.  By flossing, you are removing plaque and bacteria that cannot be reached with your toothbrush.  Plaque is an invisible bacterial film that develops on your teeth every day and is the main cause of gum disease.

Flossing at least once a day prevents plaque from hardening into tartar. In this case, prevention is the best medicine.  This is a habit you want to develop because, overtime, it will improve your overall health.

We are more than happy to offer flossing tips if you are having a hard time. Call us to book your hygiene appointment and our hygienist will gladly show you the easy way to floss.

Our Patients Say:

  • My wife and I live in Powell River.  Dr. Hynd and his staff are so professional and up-to-date on the latest and best procedures that it is worth the trip.  We appreciate the friendly and caring attention.

  • Dr. Hynd is an excellent dentist. I've been seeing him for about 5 years and he genuinely cares about his patients and is very gentle and compassionate. He's also an excellent implant dentist. He's done one dental implant for me and is scheduled to do another soon. I highly recommend him and his caring staff.
