Dental Benefits – Learning to Floss

Monday, May. 17th 2021 6:00 AM

What can happen when children do not learn to floss: The reason why flossing is important is that it helps to remove plaque lodged between the teeth.  As plaque hardens it turns into tartar which can only be removed by a oral hygienist or dentist.        

Tartar harbors bacteria which produces acids which can damage your gums and cause swelling and bleeding. This is a condition known as gingivitis.  Gingivitis if left untreated can lead to periodontal disease which eventually causes bone deterioration and tooth loss.
