Bad Smelling dental floss

Do you floss your teeth, how often?

There are times you may encounter an unpleasant odour while flossing, this may leave you puzzled and concerned.

Here are the probable reasons for bad-smelling dental floss;

1. Inadequate Oral Hygiene: When food particles and bacteria accumulate between teeth and along the gum line, they can produce foul odours.

2. Food Residue; Leftover food particles trapped between teeth can decompose over time, leading to the development of unpleasant smells.

3. Gum Disease: Gum diseases, such as gingivitis or periodontitis, can contribute to bad-smelling floss.

4. Dental Decay: Cavities and dental decay can produce a foul odour, especially when left untreated.

5. Infrequent Flossing: Infrequent flossing can allow bacteria to multiply and produce unpleasant smells.

6. Floss Quality: Some floss materials may retain bacteria or fray easily, making it challenging to clean in between teeth effectively.

7. Medical Conditions: Sometimes, bad-smelling floss may be linked to underlying medical conditions such as dry mouth or sinus issues.
