When developing your oral hygiene regimen, it is important to include flossing once a day in order to decrease the likelihood of cavities and gum disease. Removal of plaque from below the gumline, which can erode tooth enamel and develop into tartar (can cause teeth discoloration) Reduce the risk of cavities. Reduces the likelihood of soreness, puffiness, and unsightly redness of the gums. Helps prevent gingivitis, which can progress to periodontitis.
The earliest iteration of modern dental floss was introduced in 1815, by a New Orleans dentist named Dr. Levi Spear Parmly. Dr. Parmly encouraged his patients to floss with a waxed silken thread after each visit.
