Potential consequences include:
Tooth decay
Gum irritation
Persistent bad breath
Increased risk of cavities
Gum disease
Tooth sensitivity
Preventing excessive plaque buildup is one of the most effective ways to support long-term oral health.
The Simple Method: Daily Flossing
Many people brush their teeth consistently but skip flossing. However, brushing alone may not effectively clean the tight spaces between teeth.
Flossing helps remove:
Food particles
Plaque between teeth
Debris near the gumline
These areas are often difficult for toothbrush bristles to reach.
