When you’re feeling frustrated regarding trouble with navigating dental floss throughout your smile, you may feel like giving up is the easiest path to take. However, in the end, you’ll find that it will actually cause you more inconvenience (because problems like decay or gum disease will begin, which will then require a return to optimal flossing and likely treatments to restore your smile health). So, what to do about those little challenges that are feeling like huge obstacles? Ask us for help, of course!
If You Wear Braces
Do you wear braces? If so, dealing with flossing may seem very challenging. Fortunately, you’re not going to be stuck feeling extremely overwhelmed on a daily basis. Instead, we can provide you with tips. We can show you how to use threaders (that make it a cinch). We can also discuss a water flosser to help your gums remain nice and clean.
If You Wear A Bridge
Need to know what to do about your dental hygiene now that you’re wearing a bridge. No problem! You can easily protect your smile health by flossing like usual and remembering to guide the floss beneath your bridge between the device and your gum tissue, as well. Easy!
When Implants Are Involved
Now, if an implant is part of your smile, you will want to be very mindful of thoroughly flossing between teeth and restorations and around the implant. We will show you how to do this during a visit and can make suggestions for special floss that will make the experience easier, such as Superfloss.
If You’re Just Feeling A Little Uncertain
No matter the cause of your uncertainty, if you need help with flossing to protect your smile health: Just ask! We will help.
