About the Holiday

National Flossing Day had been celebrated since 2000 and promotes daily flossing which can help you prevent cavities, gingivitis, and alleviate bad breath. Floss gets in places where your toothbrush cannot by removing food particles and bacteria that can later develop into plaque and tartar. Plaque not removed can enter your bloodstream and can clog arteries and veins. Gum disease can make diabetes harder to control, can lead to heart disease, and even cause respiratory disease. So, if you're not flossing start now and try to get into a routine of doing it every day.
