hambapaber

Hambapaber is a term of Estonian origin that translates to "tooth paper" or "dental floss." It refers to a thin, flexible string made of nylon, silk, or other synthetic fibers, used to clean between teeth. The primary purpose of hambapaber is to remove food particles and dental plaque from areas that a toothbrush cannot reach, thereby preventing cavities and gum disease.

The use of hambapaber is an essential part of oral hygiene. It is typically used once a day, often before brushing teeth, to loosen debris. The process involves gently sliding the floss between the teeth and moving it up and down against the tooth surface and just below the gum line. Different types of hambapaber are available, including waxed and unwaxed varieties, as well as flavored options. Some specialized flosses are designed for people with braces or wide gaps between their teeth. Regular and proper use of hambapaber contributes significantly to maintaining good oral health.
