The act of interdental cleaning, specifically utilizing a thin thread to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth, can be performed at various times during the day. Individuals often choose to incorporate this practice into their oral hygiene routine either upon waking or before sleep.
Consistent removal of interdental debris contributes significantly to preventing gingivitis and periodontitis, inflammatory conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of teeth. Regular practice aids in reducing the bacterial load within the oral cavity, mitigating the risk of caries (cavities) and halitosis (bad breath). While the timing of this action can be adapted to individual preference and daily schedule, maintaining consistency remains paramount.
