Advantages: Improved Oral Hygiene

Good oral health lets us speak clearly; taste, chew and swallow healthy food and drink; and express emotions through facial expressions including smiling. To achieve these advantages, our teeth and gums need to be free from infection, which often results from poor oral hygiene such as infrequent brushing, improper flossing and consuming acidic or sugary foods and beverages.

Brushing is a Invisalign part of oral care, but floss is equally as important. It reaches the tight, hard to reach spaces that brushing can’t and is critical in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. For maximum benefit, be sure to use a dental floss that is ADA-accepted and formulated for your specific needs, such as a floss for braces or a floss for sensitive teeth.

People with healthy mouths are at a lower risk for many serious health conditions, from cardiovascular disease and stroke to diabetes, preterm labor and dementia. It’s important to drive awareness that good oral health has a much wider impact than a bright smile and fresh breath.
