Learn English with this health English lesson

I’m very glad to see this lesson’s subject matter. It seems that I have been going in spurts between flossing and not flossing. Sometimes the importance of it hits me and sometimes I place it as a lower level priority in my day (or night). My past experience with the dentist tells me that it is a high priority in terms of the health of my teeth and gums. Just because I can’t see the positive affect of flossing or the negative affect of not flossing doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

As a dental student I confess flossing,if not more important than brushing but at the same level of importance,is the best way of preventing interproximal(between teeth) carries.we cant usully see these carries,its one of the reasons why we take radiographs,& we find them after tenderness or ache in our teeth.we may find flossing useless but after years that we go to dentist with toothache the truth reveals that its vice versa!

But you gotta know how to use it correctly so you may ask your dentist or search for educational videos through internet.

So for the sake of your oral health use both brushing & flossing ,)

I’ve   ever  heard   about   flossing.I  also   know,  it’s  very  important  thing  to  do. But,  I  never  floss   my  teeth. I  advice  to  people  to  floss  their  teeth.

I’m really bad at flossing

brushing teeth is healthy and the best choice for the dental health 

i think flossing is very important for oral health but  who learned  is more easily

flossing before every meal.

To prove the necessity or not of  flossing everyday ,i have brushed my teeth as usual ,apparently  this would have been  enough  for a good  dental  care, but  was it? then I  flossed and   with it  small particles of food  were removed.   Marni , I agree with you, and  Mason  must have a  privileged denture. 

I usually take a dental clinic services for my teeth cleaning every year. Dentist often recommends for me to get a habit to clean my teeth after meals. According to his opinion, if we floss teeth regularly after meals, we can maintain good oral health condition for a long time. secondly, we can prevent some kind of mouth infections of virus. Thirdly, we can conserve our outlook through flossing for a lifetime. However, It is not easy to continue teeth flossing every time. It needs a right habit from the childhood. And also, we have to take a training from a dentist regarding right flossing. When you are ready to floss your teeth, your oral health will be started. Good luck!

I floss after each meal.  Having bad breath is very embarrasing.

the dentist say “You’re not flossing enough!” this sentence is very familiar to me because whenever i go to dentist i mean since my childhood. they always say this words :).for 4 years i’ve been flossing.it’s very helpful.i had many cavities when i was a kid.i really being sick of those cavities.and now i really care about tooth healthy :)it’s most important thing for me now among other healthy sections.besides this i’ve been going to dentist lastly.they say you’re taking care of very well to your tooth.because i use floss and mouth water ;)

Flossing is a great techique for tooth cleaning to prevent any tipe of dental diseases. Especially it’s been popular recently. Not even recently, 10 years ago, I was struck by the scene observing a man widely opening his mouth and energetically flossing. Holy smoke, I thought, great passion to be healthy! Even taking care of teeth on the go! He was running aroung doing his work and at the same time flossing his teeth. The wonder of multitasking. Fighting for your teeth even at work. That should be a perfect ad for it.

Flossing is important and it does avoid plaque build-up and cavities because there are tiny food scraps that get stuck in your teeth and you cannot see them and they attract bacteria that leads to many types of dentist problems. It´s a habit that needs to be drilled into people´s heads. People may not floss enough exactly because they think that the tooth brush can do a very good job of removing tiny food scraps when they don´t.

I suppose that in fact there is a lot of things depend on habits that we built in our childhood. Flossing is a bright example of that. To my mind, flossing isn’t a necessary habit for many people. For instance, there are a lot of people who haven’t got any distance of their teeth, even a small one and as a consequence of that they don’t have to such habit as flossing. I’m sure that it is waste of money and time for them. Besides of that flossing seems as a new fashion and a big business at a dentology industry.

I recall a recent example when a dentist treated me tooth and said me that she specially had stayed a good distance between my teeth in order to floss them. I never used a dental floss but after her work I begin do it. It isn’t please to me. Frankfully, it is very inconvenient for me and I don’t feel any gratitude to her.

My dentist told me. “You must floss your teeth once a day, before going to bed, at night”
Althought I brush my teeth after every meal, sometimes I don’t floss them at night. I don’t like to admit, but It’s due to my lazyness. As it is said in the topic and most people has written here, flossing is good for avoid plaque on teeth and for the smelly breath. Then, I’ll try to avoid from my laziness and I’ll floss them more often, but… it will be better that I don’t promise anything. jeje

Most mouth woes are caused by plaque which is a layers of bacteria and bits of food. Plaque causes cavities. So to take care of our oral health we have to avoid plaque at all cost. Flossing remove plaque from teeth.

For starters, flossing is a way to keep you from plaques between your teeth. I think flossing can avoid bad breath too.

I confess that sometimes I feel lazy, and all I want is avoid it at all costs. But the feeling that there’s something stuck in my teeth makes me face the facts: I really need to floss!

I have never heard about floss, i think flossing is a good idea. I will try it

I have never heard about floss, i think flossing is a good idea. I will try it

I never floss,and nobody around me flosses. maybe it all boils down to habits.  

It’s a little bit difficult when you have orthodontic braces but nothing is impossible so everything is fine if you have a pretty smile to give :D so don’t be lazy enjoy flossing!!!!
