Proper Flossing Techniques from the Dentist Homer Glen, IL, Trusts

Most people think that flossing is intended to remove particles of food that are caught between teeth. That’s true, but it’s only half the story. Flossing allows you to remove plaque that builds up between your teeth every day. Actually, plaque accumulates in all areas of the mouth. Effective brushing eliminates plaque from the surfaces of your teeth, but only flossing can get in those tight spaces between your teeth. Dr. Alan R. DeAngelo and his team of dental hygienists and dental assistants in Homer Glen, IL, are committed to helping you and your family enjoy a lifetime of happy and healthy smiles. With this in mind, we’d like to offer some suggestions for making your at-home flossing the best it can be.
