If you’re realizing that faulty flossing has become a part of your daily experience with dental care, then we are happy to remind you that one very simple problem that you can fix with ease is the amount of floss you’re using. When you’re short on the suggested floss thread length, you’re making it difficult to keep a grasp on the floss and to remove plaque and debris. Here’s the simple fix to make that dental hygiene much better (so you keep cavities away): Use about 18 inches of floss. Done!
If you always think of floss as a burden, think of it as difficult, or assume you don’t really need it, then it’s going to continue to be extremely challenging to maintain as a part of your daily life. Instead, we encourage you to take a much more appreciative and realistic look at how it impacts your oral health, so you can feel wonderful about incorporating it into your dental care.
Feeling like your flossing is faulty mostly because you feel like you missed the information you needed, though you’re sure you’ve been given details in the past? Not to worry. We aren’t here to judge you! Just here to help. If you’d like to review flossing in a step-by-step manner or just need us to fill in some blank spots in your understanding of flossing, bring this up during a checkup with us. A thorough education will tell you everything you need for successful dental hygiene that allows you to enjoy a healthy, comfortable smile.
Talk your flossing over with our friendly team during your next checkup with us, so we may help you find weak spots, as you then thoroughly strengthen your approach! Keep up with visits for the information you need. Set up an appointment in Grand Prairie, TX by contacting your dentist at Pecan Tree Dental to schedule a visit at (972) 262-5111.
