-‘floss’ is a ‘cord’ of thin ‘filaments’ used to remove ‘food’ + ‘dental plaque’ from between ‘teeth’ in areas a ‘toothbrush’ is unable to reach-
.
(the use of ‘floss’ is commonly recommended in order to prevent ‘gingivitis’ + the ‘build-up’ of ‘plaque’)
.
(namely, the ‘american dental association’ claims that up to 80% of ‘plaque’ can be eliminated with this method, and ‘flossing’ may confer a particular benefit in individuals with ‘orthodontic devices’)
.
*however, ’empirical scientific evidence’ demonstrating the ‘clinical benefit’ of ‘flossing’ as an ‘adjunct’ to ‘routine toothbrushing’ alone remains ‘limited’*
