For many of us, flossing is little more than an annoying practice the dentist nags us to do. It’s not fun, it’s easy to forget, and because there’s no instant gratification to doing it, we often just don’t see the point. However, if you’re willing to add a couple of minutes to your daily brushing routine, flossing can pay off in long-term benefits to your dental health. Let’s look at 6 health benefits that daily flossing provides.

Think about what might make your first visit easy. It can be helpful, depending on your situation, to ask for a basic consultation.  Make sure you are clear in communicating that you are fearful and only want to meet the dentist and see the office. This way you will have a good sense of the office and procedures prior to the actual appointment.
