Regular Flossing Reduces Heart Attack Risk: Study
Dental Health Foundation estimated if you are not regularly flossing, your gums and teeth won't be as healthy as they could be and your health might be being suffering.
"Gum disease, caused by the build up of bacteria on the teeth is really an infection in your mouth. An infection of any type is not good for the body, especially in people whose capability to fight infection may be compromised by an illness such as diabetes or an immune disease," the Daily Express quoted Payman Langroudi, a dentist with Enlighten Smiles, as saying.
Flossing once a day reaches the 35 per cent of the mouth that can't be reached by brushing alone and is vital protection against swollen, red and bleeding gums that can later lead to periodontal disease.
"Flossing helps keep your breath more pleasant by removing the malodorous bacterial film that can't be removed by brushing alone," said Langroudi. Bristol University researchers reported that bacteria can enter the bloodstream via sore gums and deposit a clot-forming protein that raises heart disease risk.
