• Preventing Dental Disease

  Dental disease can be prevented by brushing and flossing everyday.  When you brush you are removing harmful bacteria before they cause cavities and gum disease.  But if you don't floss, you're only doing half the job of cleaning your teeth and gums. Flossing cleans away plaque and food debris between your teeth and below the gum line, where your brush can't reach. Your teeth can last a life time if you visit your dentist and dental hygienist for regular checkups and cleanings.

   Do you know that brushing alone will  clean 40% of your smile.  Daily flossing cleans in-between your teeth, and will decrease oral disease, decrease decay and your breath will be fresher.

 
 How to floss

Break off about 18 inches of floss, and wind most of it around one of your middle fingers.
