Floss To Fight Gum Disease, Protect Your Teeth

August 10, 2020
Home > Blog > Floss To Fight Gum Disease, Protect Your Teeth
August 10, 2020

To love your smile, you have to love your teeth. And to care for your teeth, you have to take care of your gums. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States.

While we can treat periodontal problems at our practice, our preference is to help our patients prevent issues whenever possible. Using dental floss or another interdental cleaner daily can go a long way toward preserving your oral health and your smile, as this video by the American Dental Association explains.

We want you to keep your smile looking great. We want you to brush, floss, and visit us for routine care. Contact us online or call 254-401-0129 to plan your next appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.

Although I have mentioned a slight pain when I bite down on certain things on the lower left side, this visit was the first time it showed up in an x-ray. Ins should pay for treating cavity!
