We always new that flossing was good for teeth and gums, but it turns out that flossing is good for the heart as well. Flossing removes plaque and tartar (bacteria) and prevents periodontal disease. People with gum disease are at greater risk of developing heart and respiratory disease. According to a Harvard Medical School study on longevity, flossing is one of the most important contributing factors to having a long life. What better incentive than all that to make the effort to floss every day!
