Dental Flossing
Would you be willing to trade a few minutes a day, for an extra Six years of life?
There is a focus in society to not only live longer lives, but to live healthier at the same time. As CNN correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta states in his new book, “no one wants to die tomorrow”. No kidding :-)
Jay M. Marks, DMD, Danbury CT. cosmetic dentist, says that daily flossing can add SIX years to one’s life expectancy! Imagine, such a simple task cannot only add years to your life, but can increase the quality of your life. The further surprise is that so few people take advantage of this small task.

Research performed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), found only five to ten % of us floss on a regular basis. The same research revealed that common periodontal problems (gum diseases) such as peridontitis & gingivitis lead to a 23–46 % greater death rate.
Sites of inflammation, such as our gum tissue, increase the rate of strokes and cardiovascular diseases. A simple way to remove the bugs that cause gum inflammation is to simply floss you teeth, which cleans the areas that your toothbrush cannot reach.
So, the less teeth you have due to poor oral hygiene habits, can be an indication of you general health, and eventual longevity.
