Don't Forget to Floss!

If you brush your teeth at least twice a day- that is great! But don't forget that flossing is a crucial part of your hygiene regimen. Statistics show that at least 75% (that is 3 out of 4 people) have gum disease. Many folks don't even know they have gum disease. Did you know that the amount of floss bought each year per person is about 18 yards and that the amount of floss that should be bought each year is about 122 yards? Keep your gums, teeth and overall body healthy by continuing to brush and start flossing! It may even add 7 years to your life-span!

Ever wonder how fluoride really works? It counters tooth decay by preventing the loss of minerals from enamel and promoting reabsorption of calcium and phosphate from saliva into the enamel.

Fun Dental Fact

Here is another fun dental fact: in 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the world's first community in the world to put fluoride into its water system. Today, two-thirds of U.S. residents drink fluoridated water.
