It is well accepted that bacterial build up in the mouth is what causes
tooth decay and gum disease. Proper brushing will clean all the visible
tooth surfaces. However, the toothbrush cannot clean between the teeth
at all. Various types of brushes and water irrigation devices are often
used in an attempt to avoid flossing, but nothing will clean between
the teeth effectively enough.

some aids available to help people with arthritis of the hands. Again
when you are here we can assess your individual situation and guide you
