Why yes! People who floss have healthier gums and teeth and that leads to better overall health!
I know it sounds funny, but the circulation between your mouth and heart are connected, so if there's bacteria in the mouth it can travel to the heart very quickly. That's why some people who have heart murmurs are supposed to take an antibiotic even before they have their teeth cleaned, (such as myself, but I never do!).Healthy teeth are beautiful!
