001: It's Never Too Late To Start Flossing!
July 21, 2020 by Jennifer Granemo
Do you floss? Don't worry — we won't tell anyone if you don't! And if you forget this essential little habit, you're not alone, as not many people floss regularly. But Happy Eco is here to remind you that it's never too late to start flossing! If you've been slacking, now is an excellent time to start. And with Happy Eco's help, you can protect your teeth and gums with sustainable flossing!
The Importance of Flossing
Adding flossing to your daily oral care routine will make your teeth look brighter and cleaner. By removing plaque and debris stuck in between your teeth, you'll help prevent gum disease and keep your breath fresh. Dentists recommend flossing after eating to get rid of any food that's left in between your teeth, and before brushing your teeth to allow your toothpaste a better chance of working to its full potential. When you remove food particles and buildup with flossing, there is more area for brushing to cover.
How to Prevent Gum Sensitivity
Do you have sensitive gums that bleed while brushing your teeth? Many think that flossing will just bother the gums even more, but it can help them and prevent sensitivity! In the beginning, flossing might make your gums bleed more. But after a few days, it will hopefully be much better and, eventually, the bleeding will lessen or stop altogether.
