What are the advantages and disadvantages of flossing teeth? In daily life, people often have such troubles: after eating beef, lean meat or some vegetables, the fiber in the food is accidentally embedded in the teeth, forming food residue, which can not be brushed off with a toothbrush or picked out with a toothpick, which is very annoying. What shall we do? The research of the Chinese Stomatological Association shows that flossing is the most effective way to remove the impaction between teeth, and it can obviously improve the oral hygiene level and reduce the pain and diseases caused by tooth blockage. Dental floss was originally used as a dental instrument, and its English name was dental floss. Later, it was found that dental floss can not only remove food residues, but also remove soft dental plaque between teeth. Therefore, since 1980s, developed countries such as Europe and America have taken the lead in adopting new technologies, new materials and new processes to improve them into dental cleaning products and put them on the market. The appearance of dental floss in the market is a new revolution in the way of cleaning teeth. Thousands of people have benefited a lot from it, relieved the trouble of dental diseases, maintained periodontal health and reduced other diseases caused by dental diseases. At present, dental floss is widely used in developed countries and is an indispensable necessity for people to travel at home. Flossing your teeth after meals, just like washing your hands before meals and gargling after meals, has become an essential procedure in daily life. Medical experts have found that dental floss can prevent dental diseases better than toothbrushes. Normal brushing can only remove about 70% of dental plaque. Every tooth has five faces. Usually brushing teeth can only thoroughly clean three of them, but it is difficult to clean the dirt between teeth. That is to say, the bacteria hidden in the gap between teeth and dental plaque and the dental plaque in the gap between adjacent teeth can't be brushed off, but in fact, these parts are where bacteria gather and dental diseases occur. Numerous experiences have proved that only dental floss can be competent and act as a "scavenger" in this field. It can easily reach the narrow teeth gaps that are difficult to reach when brushing, gargling and picking teeth, effectively remove food residues, dental plaque and soft dental plaque between teeth, and thoroughly clean your teeth, which is safe and reliable and does not damage your gums. Some people worry that dental floss will come in and out between the teeth, which will lead to loose teeth. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. First of all, the gap between normal teeth is enough for very flat dental floss to pass through; In addition, flossing can also stimulate the gums around the teeth by massage, increase the blood circulation of the gums, thus preventing or alleviating or even treating dental diseases; Furthermore, today's dental floss has become tough, flexible, adaptable and safe through the improvement of new technologies, new materials and new processes. Only by flossing can it be quickly popularized in developed countries. In China, the prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis is extremely high, which is closely related to the incomplete removal of dental plaque. Therefore, it is urgent to popularize a scientific and practical new method of dental floss cleaning. In fact, dental floss the size of a matchbox can be used hundreds of times. Carrying a box with you when you are on a business trip or going out for supper is of great benefit to cleaning and caring for your teeth. It is no exaggeration to say that dental floss is an excellent tool for cleaning teeth and the most convenient and ideal dental care product for preventing or reducing dental treatment. Maybe you haven't heard of it before, or you haven't been exposed to dental floss. However, you should cultivate such a good habit from now on. As long as you can stick to flossing after three meals and before brushing your teeth, you will naturally have an enviable pair of healthy teeth.
