Are baby teeth really that important, don’t they fall out ? Primary, or "baby," teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt.

We are super excited to have COCOFLOSS at our office ! Why we love Cocofloss: 1GRABS PLAQUE Made with 500+ textured filaments to scrub teeth clean... 2TYPICAL FLOSS GLIDES OVER PLAQUE, COCOFLOSS CAPTURES IT Most floss is too smooth and flat to effectively remove plaque the sticky, yellow biofilm that covers our teeth. It’s like trying to clean crusty dishes with a plastic bag. Slick floss slides right over the stinky stuff, allowing cavity-causing bacteria to multiply. If left unchecked, the amount of bad bacteria in your mouth can become overwhelming, resulting in irritated, swollen gums, and eventually gum recession, tooth decay, and even tooth loss 3SUPER-CLEANSING COCOFLOSS IS THE GENTLE LOOFAH FOR YOUR SMILE Cocofloss is different. It’s made with more than 500 interwoven filaments, giving it a maximal surface area to snatch plaque and debris from between your teeth and gums. Like an exfoliating loofah, our textured floss massages gums and makes teeth sparkle. Interwoven fibers maximize strength and minimize shredding 4WEIGHTLIFTER STRONG, YOGI FLEXIBLE Interwoven with 500+ strong but supple filaments, Cocofloss won’t rip or shred even with the most aggressive flossing. Slice off a strand and watch it flex (Psst aggressive flossers, take two minutes to relax and floss gently. Your gums would love a caring Cocofloss massage) 5STAYS FLEXIBLE Designed to compress between even the tightest spaces 6SAFE INGREDIENTS Crafted with soothing coconut oil, naturally aromatic fruit oils, vegan wax, no toxins and no animal testing
