How Often Are You Flossing?

Emerald Dental, General Dentistry

Do you floss your teeth every day? We often speak about the importance of brushing your teeth properly a minimum of two times per day, but using dental floss daily is just as important. When you visit our office for an oral hygiene examination, we can tell if you are flossing your teeth daily or not. Even if you brush as thoroughly as possible, you can’t fully remove the food and bacteria lingering between the teeth and along the gumline. Read on to learn more about the problems you may experience if you are not flossing your teeth daily.

If you are over 21, there are many occasions when enjoying an alcoholic beverage or two is part of the plan. Summer is a popular time to indulge in alcoholic drinks, especially if you are on vacation or spending time with friends and family at a party or outdoor cookout. For years, you have heard about the effect that overindulging in alcoholic beverages can have on your overall health, but did you know that it can also negatively affect your oral health? Many oral health conditions can develop and become recurring if you overindulge in alcoholic beverages.
