At Ceres Dental Sydney, we provide gentle, patient-focused extractions while prioritising your long-term oral health.

Flossing and Its Impact on Heart and Brain Health

Recent studies show that flossing helps with more than just keeping teeth healthy. A study from 2025 found that people who floss at least once a week are less likely to have problems like poor blood flow to the brain, blockages in the heart, or irregular heartbeats. These benefits happen even if someone brushes their teeth regularly or goes to the dentist often. This shows that flossing plays a special role in lowering inflammation, which can harm blood vessels and affect heart health overall.

This isn't dangerous, but it shows that when a baby's teeth come in early can be influenced by both family history and the conditions in the womb. This highlights how important it is for a mother to stay healthy and calm during pregnancy.
