Dental floss

The dental floss is a complement of the Brosse to teeth for the oral Hygiène.

The dental floss must be daily last, to remove the Dental plaque on the level inter-proximal (the zone between two Dent S).
Indeed, the brush with teeth cannot clean this zone, which will thus be exposed to pathologies: decays (called here " decays proximales" , on the level of the Contact point of the teeth); Gingivite and Parodontite.

Material:

The dental floss is out of nylon, of Teflon or polyéthylène.
It can be waxed or not waxed. The waxed wire is easier to pass. The wire not waxed is more effective.

Practical:

The dental floss is appeared as a reel in a small box. It is necessary to take approximately a forty centimetres of it length. The ends are rolled up around the indices; guidance is done with the inches. The tended wire is placed between two teeth; one carries out a back and forth pass to pass the contact point. When the wire is in space inter-proximal, one plates it against the face of a tooth then other, and one arises. It is necessary to do that between all the teeth.

When space between the teeth is more important (in the event of parodontaux problems having involved a Récession parodontale, or in the event of loss of teeth), it is necessary to replace the wire by interdental brossettes.
