Why is Flossing Important?

Apr 2, 2018 | Posted by Periodontal Associates of Memphis | Blog, Oral Health, Periodontal (Gum) Disease |

Flossing is a crucial part of your dental health routine that many people overlook.

  • Home

 

Flossing has been shown to be very effective at reducing plaque between teeth. This helps to reduce the risk of cavities as well as periodontal disease. The latter is especially important given the negative effect of periodontal disease on your overall health. In fact, the American Medical Association and a myriad of medical journals report patients who have healthy mouths live at least seven years longer. So if you want to keep your smile and be able to chew, and be healthy then you only need to floss the teeth (and body) you want to.

Snoring: Should I Worry?

Aug 24, 2015

It keeps your spouse, the kids and even the dog, up at night and can be pretty embarrassing when you are staying with friends and family, but is snoring anything more than just an annoyance? It could be. People who snore have a 40% greater risk of dying earlier than their peers. Snoring can actually be the warning sign to a much greater health issue. Sleep apnea, often characterized by loud snoring, is a serious disorder which affects your breathing while you are asleep.
