his is one of the most common lies dentists hear everyday. Patients would lie about how often they floss, if they ever do.
Flossing is not as simple as removing those food stuck in between your teeth. Regular flossing keeps your teeth free from decay and your gums free from inflammation and disease. Some studies have shown that gum disease may be linked to cardiovascular disease and preeclampsia, a life-threatening pregnancy complication. But if your dentist is aware that you do not floss, he can watch out for these complications and help you prevent them.
