Dental Floss – the small thread with a big impact!

❤️🦷 "Dental floss: Good for your teeth – and perhaps even for your heart."

Most people brush their teeth daily. But did you know that your toothbrush only reaches about 60 to 70 percent of the tooth surfaces?

The areas between the teeth often remain insufficiently cleaned. It is precisely there that food residues and bacteria accumulate – and it is often there that the problem begins.

Why is dental floss so important?

Plaque forms between the teeth that can hardly be removed with a toothbrush. If these are not regularly removed, gum inflammation, caries and bad breath can develop.

With just a few minutes of flossing per day, you can clean these hard-to-reach areas and sustainably protect your oral health.

Healthy interdental spaces – healthy body?

Current scientific studies show that good oral hygiene can have effects far beyond the mouth.

People who regularly use dental floss have a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, strokes and certain heart rhythm disorders.

The reason for this could lie in the inflammations: Inflamed gums allow bacteria to enter the body. These can promote inflammatory processes that strain the heart and blood vessels.

Dental floss or interdental brushes?

Not every interdental space is the same. While dental floss is often the best choice for tight spaces, interdental brushes are better suited for larger gaps.

We will gladly show you which solution is optimal for your teeth during your next visit.

Our tip –

Use dental floss or interdental brushes daily – preferably in the evening before brushing your teeth.

Your gums will thank you. And possibly even your heart will benefit.

🦷 Our heartfelt concern: Healthy teeth are important. Healthy gums are even more important. Because a healthy mouth significantly contributes to your overall well-being and health.
