Flossing is important because it removes plaque and food from places your toothbrush can’t reach. Not flossing can cause gum disease and cavities between your teeth. Daily flossing is one of the easiest ways to keep your smile healthy. If you need help with your routine, please call us at (636) 464-2200.
