How to Brush and Floss Properly

Proper brushing and flossing techniques are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Brushing and flossing correctly on a consistent, daily basis can help prevent cavities, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other health problems.

Periodontal disease has been linked to many well-known health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and others. The presence of periodontal disease in your mouth can affect how your body responds to other health problems and decrease the body’s immune response.
