General Features
- Made from materials that make it extremely smooth, minimizing the possibility of causing cuts or injuries to the delicate tissues covering the gums.
- Polishes the surface of the teeth and controls bad breath.
- Reduces the likelihood of gum disease and interproximal cavities.
Indications or Uses
- Dental floss allows the removal of plaque from proximal dental surfaces that are inaccessible to a toothbrush, so dental floss should be used as part of regular oral hygiene practice.
- Its aim is to control the microbial flora associated with oral residues and calculus.
- The removal of dental plaque to prevent cavities and periodontal disease should be done mechanically, using brushes and dental floss.
- Cleaning the interproximal groove and the mesial or distal portion of the tooth where the brush cannot reach.
- It is essential in fixed prosthetic pontics and in orthodontics.
- It should be used at least once a day, especially before bedtime.
