HOW TO FLOSS PARTY

Flossing is one of the best ways to keep teeth clean. Not only does it remove harmful bacteria and strengthen gums, it helps prevent cavities as well. With the proper flossing technique, you’ll have a brighter, healthier smile in no time! Check out our step-by-step guide and instructional video to get started. 

THE GUM GUIDE

So, what’s so important about gums? The cracks between your teeth are the perfect environment for tarter and plaque. When harmful toxins are released, gums can get inflamed as the bone starts to break down, leading to gum disease and even your teeth falling out. In order to prevent this from happening, it’s imperative to floss daily. This will remove bacteria to stop the problem at the source.
