Woven floss is more effective than regular floss in the fight against periodontal disease. If you can’t find woven floss, double your regular floss to get more results for the energy you expend.
I agree that flossing is so important. About a year ago I was diagnosed with periodontal disease. I’d always had receding gums, but now I had pockets that were 4s and 5s. What really shocked me is that now I had to go to the dentist every three months for cleanings that cost over $800 since I had no insurance. YIKES!!! My friend has periodontal disease in her family and had managed to improve hers by using a pick, so that gave me hope. But it was way too hard for me to keep up with. You basically pick into the pockets with one of those rubber-tip thingies. Anyway! I researched it and decided to try this peppermint oil stuff. It’s natural and easy to use. You just brush with it. That and flossing after every meal turned my disease around in less than three months. I don’t have perfect gums, but I no longer have deep enough pockets to need the cleanings. And no more sensitive teeth or bleeding/swollen gums. Here’s where you can get it. The testimonies are what sold me: http://offto.net/trustedhealthproducts_013a/
Floss at least twice a day, after meals.
What I know for sure is that it’s all connected.
