After you have showered, lotioned up, and brushed you teeth, you are ready for bed, right? Wrong. When you have not flossed your teeth, you have left behind about fifty percent of the surface area of your mouth uncleaned.

Research has shown that there is an association between gum disease and heart disease. Prevention of gum disease, while sometimes complex, can be improved with flossing.

So the next time you pick up that toothbrush, put it down, and floss first!!
