Episode Synopsis

Though most people these days are becoming aware of flossing, they don’t really put it into practice consistently. They say if you fail to floss you miss cleaning 40% of your teeth. But are people really worried about the remaining 40%? Well, you should be! Because you still have 40% chance of developing tooth cavities.
Cleaning the remaining 40% can remove the entire possibility of getting tooth cavities. This also means you avoid the possibility of needing a root canal treatment in your life. But how exactly does flossing save your teeth from extraction?
Highlights:

Flossing is one of the most important habits you can develop to maintain and improve your gum health.
Compromised gum health and hidden cavities are the most common reasons why your teeth needs removal.
Flossing can prevent hidden cavities as well as improve gum health by removing plaque and bacteria from the interdental spaces between teeth.
