One of the common factors of poor dental health is a lack of routine dental care.

That includes regular visits to your Tampa dentist for cleanings and exams, but it also means maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home.

Studies show that about 20 percent of people admit to never flossing between their teeth. 

You may fall into that category and think it’s not that big a deal, but there’s a reason the ADA recommends flossing once a day.

With this important step, you’re getting rid of food particles that get stuck between your teeth after you eat, which gives harmful oral bacteria less fuel to thrive and gives you the upper hand in keeping your mouth healthy.
