Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flossing and brushing help to remove plaque and food particles from tooth and gum surfaces. Viridans bacteria are one type of bacteria found in plaque on teeth, and removing plaque can reduce their numbers. This lowers the risk of dental caries and gum disease. Flossing also helps to remove food particles and bacteria from between teeth and below the gumline, where brushing alone may not be effective.
