OMG! Flossing is Important

All the time we have said that having good oral hygiene and teeth whitening kit can help us keep our teeth healthy until we are old folks. Which means that we must wash our mouth three times a day and dental floss water jet to remove food debris.

But now, maybe this last point is not as good as we have always believed. And it is that a new study by the Associated Press indicates that there is no good evidence to support this advice.

The researchers analyzed data from 25 studies conducted over the past decade, which basically compared the use of the toothbrush alone against the combination of this more floss to clean your mouth.

According to experts, in these studies it can realize that the evidence for the flossing are weak and very unreliable. Even the conclusion of the investigations reveals that most of the available studies fail to demonstrate that use such cleaning tool is effective to remove plaque.

A millenary deception?

As part of their research, experts AP asked the president of the American Academy of Periodontology, Wayne Aldredge, if flossing works. He said scientific evidence for its use is weak. Confirming the new theory.

Also, Aldredge mentioned that although patients still recommends flossing, think that many people do not use it correctly. Instead of moving up and down the sides of the teeth, as is due, most do with a sawing motion.
