In order to prevent the build-up of tartar, we must have an effective oral care routine that can remove the plaque before it has a chance to harden up.

Brushing alone is not enough to ensure all the plaque is removed so we must also incorporate an effective interdental cleaning regime into our daily cleaning habit. There are many methods of interdental cleaning such as flossing, interdental brushes and oral irrigators.

Flossing is a simple yet crucial step that should be incorporated into your daily oral care routine. Flossing will hugely benefit your oral health by removing plaque and preventing tartar build-up, which is the primary cause of gum disease.

Also, when plaque is left to accumulate between your teeth, it can erode the enamel, leading to cavities. Flossing helps to remove plaque and bacteria from these areas, reducing the risk of tooth decay.

By flossing regularly, you can maintain healthier teeth and avoid the discomfort and expense of having the cavities restored with fillings.
