First, protect dental hygiene and health If toothpicks are often used in daily life, we will find that our teeth are getting bigger and bigger. At present, dental floss recommended in clinic is composed of multi-strand nylon filaments, which can prevent periodontal disease and protect our oral health. Toothbrushes can't penetrate into tiny gaps, so we need the help of dental floss, which can help us completely remove dirt from gaps. Moreover, when dental floss rubs on the thin tooth surface, it will produce friction, which can help us clean bacteria better.
Second, prevent the gap between our teeth from getting bigger. Compared with toothpicks, dental floss is very small, which can effectively prevent the gap from getting bigger during dental floss use. At the same time, it can prevent oral diseases and greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. This is a good way to clean your teeth. Although flossing has so many benefits, we also need to master the correct method of flossing, so as to avoid periodontitis. In the process of flossing, 1~2 times a day is enough, too much is bad for teeth.
Third, the correct use of dental floss If you use too much force when using dental floss, it will lead to the inability to completely remove food residue between teeth and damage the gums. When in use, let the dental floss enter the teeth first, and then rub it a little bit from bottom to top, so that the dental floss can clean up the residue in the teeth. At the same time, toothpick floss is a disposable product, so don't use it repeatedly, which will also increase the risk of bacterial infection.
