Flounder teeth cause gingivitis

More than 60% of British people regularly harm their teeth by using anything that can floss their teeth. Among them are scissors, screwdrivers, earrings, needles and knives.

The survey, conducted by the British Oral Health Association, also found that 23% suffered from having food in their teeth - increasing the risk of gingivitis and bad breath.

Dr. Nigel Carter, Executive Director of the association, said: "Clearly many people need to be educated about the importance of using only interstitial cleaners."

"Flossing is just a minimal part of daily oral care, to eliminate the lingering food scum causing gingivitis. This should be done once a day before brushing your teeth. ".

"However, keep in mind that it must be done gently, even if only for medical use, because puncture or right-hooking will damage the gum tissue." Dr. Carter said the best way to remove food from interstitial teeth is to use medical indications that have been designed appropriately for this purpose. He warned not to use anything else without a special design.

Everything used by everyone includes keys, paper clips, matches, earrings, nail files, pencils, knives and forks.
