Dental Insurance Plus -The Benefits of Flossing.
Studies suggest that even in a well-developed country such as the United States of America, only 12% floss their teeth daily. Many people sadly believe regular brushing is enough to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
In a study of 51 twins: one set of twins was instructed to brush, while the other set of twins was to brush and floss. Their dental health was examined before and after the study. The study results showed the group that flossed had 38% fewer bleeding gum sites than before the intervention, and overall gum bleeding improved by an average of 42%. If your child is only brushing their teeth, then they are only cleaning their teeth about 65%, leaving 35% dirty. Ensure your children brush and floss daily for proper dental health care habits.
