Don’t Forget to Floss – Helpful Dental Care

February 21, 2023

Flossing is essential to our oral hygiene routine, but have you ever wondered about its history and how it became a vital component of dental care?

Flossing was first introduced century by Levi Spear Parmly, a New Orleans dentist. However, it was not until the invention of nylon in the 1940s that flossing became popular. Nylon made flossing more affordable to the public, and it quickly became a part of the daily oral hygiene routine.

Flossing removes plaque and food particles stuck between teeth. When these particles are not removed, they can cause inflammation of the gums, leading to gingivitis and, in severe cases, periodontitis. These conditions can cause tooth loss, bone loss, and other health problems. Additionally, not flossing can lead to bacteria buildup, which can cause infection and other health issues.
