Dental floss is essential, as it enables thorough cleaning between the teeth where toothbrushes cannot reach. Not cleaning the spaces between the teeth can lead to the accumulation of bacteria, which can cause tooth decay, gum inflammation, and bad breath.
We know several types of dental floss. Non-waxed floss is a thin nylon or plastic string used to clean the spaces between the teeth. Non-waxed floss is suitable for people who have more expansive interdental spaces. Waxed floss has added wax, which makes it easier for the floss to pass between tighter interdental spaces and prevents the floss from tearing or falling apart. Fluoridated floss contains fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay and strengthens tooth enamel. Superfloss is a particular type of dental floss that has a more challenging part in the middle that allows for easier insertion between teeth with metal orthodontic appliances or areas with dental implants. In addition to floss, various devices are available, such as interdental brushes and water jets, which enable effective cleaning of interdental spaces. Flossing is crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing various dental problems. Regular cleaning of the spaces between the teeth can help reduce the risk of gum disease and caries and maintain healthy and strong teeth.
