Many dentists believe that flossing is the single most important weapon against plaque. In any event, daily flossing is an excellent and proven method for complementing your brushing routine and helping to prevent cavities, periodontal disease, and other dental problems later in life. It also increases blood circulation in your gums. Floss removes plaque and debris that stick to your teeth and gums. * When you floss with braces, you need to be careful!!!
Well, when you eat where does the food end up? In your teeth! By brushing you only get the left on food particles called plaque off the tops and backs of your teeth. Plaque will build up beyond the tops of your teeth and end up in between them. Flossing allows that plaque to come out. Having plaque there and not flossing can cause gum disease and that isnt good. So i hope this helps:)
Because even if you brush you may not be able to get some hard spots.
Flossing helps loosen particles that get stuck between teeth. This can be plaque or food particles that could cause dental problems if left there.
Because it gets the food from out between your teeth, where your toothbrush can't reach it. If the food is left there it can rot and wreck your gums and also give you really bad breath.
The process of flossing is extremely important to the upkeep of dental hygiene. When combined with proper brushing, flossing removes any left-over particles of food, sugar and other cavity causing debris in the mouth.
