Flossing is a tedious task and there are a lot of us who just don’t bother, and some recent facts suggest:
The first nationally representative analysis designed to determine how many people floss their teeth, found that those who floss daily amount to about 30 percent of the population. Just over 37 percent report less than daily flossing, and slightly over 32 percent say they never floss.
Wow! That’s just crazy! There are so many other topics of healthcare, fitness, and bad habits etc. out there that everyone is always yammering about, but this subject looks like something that is severely neglected! But don’t take my word for it. Let’s just take a look at some clear details of this topic.
This is a rather raw version of the truth, but when you eat, food gets lodged in between your teeth and gums. You say, “Hey I brush my teeth everyday”; well that’s great, but it doesn’t get rid of trapped food that will soon become a haven for bacteria growth just after 24 hours. 
It’s no different then the table scraps that you discard into your garbage can as you complete your routine clean-up in the kitchen after every meal.
What happens to that food that is thrown away? Well it joins the rest of the garbage and now will rot and produce massive amounts of hideous bacteria that will soon inherit a very unattractive ‘stench’ that gets worse as the days go by. The garbage just keeps piling up until you take it out to the curb to be picked up by a very noisy vehicle in the early hours of the morning. 
So with your teeth, unless you floss on a daily basis, you are doing nothing more than ‘hoarding’ your own garbage, and you continue to go from day to day as it rots as well.
Hmmm, could that possibly cause ‘bad breath’? You betcha! And depending on how long you go without flossing, you have been doing nothing more that mixing the new garbage with the old. I think you get the picture. So when it comes to taking out the garbage, YOU are the ‘garbage man’. That’s right. You can prevent all of this from happening!
Just think next time you walk up to some folks and deliver your big ‘Hello’. You have probably been including something you didn’t intend to offer. A foul stench that won’t soon be forgotten! You can use floss, use an oral irrigator, or interdental brushes. Remember, you are just taking a few moments to get rid of leftover food particles so you aren’t taking out the ‘Garbage’ because someone has alerted you of your fowl breath! Flossing is a preventative measure to keep your mouth healthy and odor free!
I can say, “I floss everyday”. Others who do not say anything, well, you know the drill.

8 Reasons You Shouldn’t Avoid the Dentist Modern dental care is all about prevention and comfort. We all know somebody who looks forward to going to the dentist. You know, the kind of person who gets positively giddy at the thought of plopping down in that big reclining chair. Then there’s the rest of us—for whom a trip to the dentist ranks right up there with visiting our accountants at tax time. But the truth is, there are lots of compelling reasons for seeing your dentist at least once a year, and ideally, every six months. AVOID MAJOR DENTAL WORK With regular checkups, your dentist can spot early signs of decay at a stage when the damage can usually be reversed, which means you’ll avoid the dreaded drill. “When it comes to cavities, it’s not an all or nothing situation,” says Fotinos Panagakos, DMD, a licensed dentist and Global Director of Scientific Affairs at Colgate-Palmolive. “The tooth enamel gets broken down over time, but your dentist can detect it early a

#smilesarecontagious #dentistinphiladelphia #dentistinphiladelphia #myfamilydentalcare #asmilefeelsgood Many people say that a person’s face and countenance seems to change when they smile. In fact, in many psychological tests, people are more likely to feel better about someone who appears with a smile as opposed to a person who has a neutral expression on their face. This is because a person is seen as more attractive when they smile. People tend to behave differently around smiling, attractive people. Studies in Penn State University have found that smiling people appear immediately as more trustworthy, relatable, courteous and reliable. People trust you more as it gives you the appearance of sincerity and joy, and people are drawn to these qualities in a person. Medical studies have reported that when a human sees another smiling face, the area of their brain called the orbitofrontal cortex responds in a way that is a lot similar to receiving a “reward.” People feel
