This is because the bacteria and plaque that cause gum disease live in places between the teeth where a tooth brush cannot reach. You need to floss in these places in order to keep cavities from forming. This has to be done every day. After you have finished flossing your teeth, bacterial populations rebound and plaque begins to form again. However, it takes plaque 24 hours to reconstitute on the surface of your teeth. If you floss at least once a day, you will be able to keep it in check. Do not neglect to do this. Plaque turns into tartar over a period of time. Tartar is calcified plaque that is formed by minerals in saliva and other fluids in your mouth. Tartar can begin forming in as little as 24 hours. It is definitely underway by 72 hours.

That is why dentists always recommend that people floss their teeth as well as brushing them. Tartar between the teeth is not a good thing and leads to all sorts of dental complications.There are different types of dental floss and flossing tools that you can use. Ask your dentist which is right for...more
