Most men and women know that flossing is an important part of oral health in Los Angeles. The value of this simple yet essential exercise in oral hygiene has been shown time and time again. But does fear have to play a role in a commitment to hygiene?

Are You Doing Enough?

Flossing offers a chance to remove bits and pieces that a toothbrush will undoubtedly miss. But, being afraid of the ‘cavity bugs,’ ‘mouth germs,’ or the ‘dental bogeyman’ may still not compel Los Angeles folks to floss regularly. The fear of gingivitis and gum disease may work for a week or so after a cleaning, but may not instill a lasting habit between teeth cleanings.

Improving Oral Health in Los Angeles

At Dr. Bill Dorfman, DDS – Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles, we encourage our dental patients to look at flossing as an opportunity to start fresh just as showering and dressing for the day is a positive way to increase motivation. Initiate flossing into your established routine. Flossing can be a positive opportunity to remind yourself to smile and feel happy as you approach your day. Flossing could be a time to think about the foods you are putting into your mouth and consider what improvements could be made to your diet. Living in health-conscious communities such as Hollywood, Century City, or California can also help motivate you to floss regularly. The fresh air you breathe on a short walk will feel smooth as you run your tongue along the ridges of your teeth.
