765-348-4111 Every year Halloween comes around and the cavities are not far behind. This year, why not fend off cavities by remembering to floss? Did you know, flossing is a key factor in fighting off cavities? Well, it’s true! Without flossing, you are leaving parts of your teeth vulnerable to tooth decay and tartar build-up, which could lead to cavities and gum disease. That is why it’s essential to remember to floss this Halloween. But, how do you know which floss is right for you? Well, here at Maddox Family Dental Center in Hartford City, Indiana, we are happy to give you the different kinds of floss available for your smile.
These include:
-Unwaxed floss: Unwaxed floss is a traditional kind of floss. They are great to use if you have a little space between your teeth.
-Waxed floss: Waxed floss is popular when your teeth are closer together. The wax helps the floss slide between the teeth and along the gumline easier.
-Water flosser: A water flosser has become extremely popular. This flosser forces water between your teeth and along your gum line, similar to a pressure washer. This is also a popular option.
-Dental picks: Dental picks are convenient for many because you don’t have to wind the floss around your fingers. They are easy to use and can go gently between your teeth to remove plaque and food particles.
As you can see, there are many different options you can use to keep your smile in tip-top shape! So, don’t delay and call us today at 765-348-4111 to set up an appointment. Our friendly staff is always happy to help assist you in any way we can!
