Flossing is an effective tool to prevent various gum problems including pain, irritation and discomfort. Gum diseases occur when the bacteria multiply through colonization at the area of food lodgment at or below the gum line. This can eventually result in pain, swelling, bad breath, soft or tender gums, bleeding and inflammation at the affected area of the gums. Flossing removes mildly formed calculi including food particles and finally prevents swelling and inflammation of gums. Moreover, it stops further progression of infection thus preventing the jaw or lymph node swelling, especially in the neck. According to a recent research study, it has been proven that regular flossing helps to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
