 Flossing every day before you brush is an important part of your daily dental care routine. Flossing removes the stuck-on bacteria that sits between your teeth and below your gum line. Brushing alone can't stop the buildup up of plaque in these areas. Though flossing is an important part of your dental care, you may find it tiresome. Fortunately, there's an alternative to traditional string floss. Recent dental innovation has brought a new method of flossing to the market. Water flossing utilizes the cleansing power of water to dislodge plaque and food from your teeth. Water flossers used to be expensive, but now, they are quite affordable. Compared to traditional floss, water flossers boast many benefits. Water Flossing with ArthritisPeople suffering from arthritis may find it difficult to floss properly.
