Many people question whether or not flossing is actually beneficial to our dental health.

Flossing is an important part of your dental hygiene. Brushing can only clean so much of the tooth. In order to reach in between your teeth and around your gums, flossing is necessary. Dr. Levine was recently asked about the importance of flossing, here is what he had to say:

Despite the lack of supporting research, we recommend daily flossing to all our patients. We have seen dramatic improvements to our patient’s oral health when flossing becomes a part of their daily routine.
