Snapping and popping your way through the process probably does more damage than good, causing friction on tissue and damage at the gum line. Instead, use about two inches of floss between your fingers, unroll a fresh section of floss for each tooth, and keep the floss tight against your tooth to break up plaque while leaving your gums in good shape.

There are normally six molars in each arch, three on the left and three on the right side. They are referred to as first, second and third molars. Some people never develop third molars and often these are the molars that are so far back in the mouth that they have difficulty coming in and in many cases have to be taken out. The role of the molars in chewing is to grind the food.

Periodontitis is a serious, chronic, non-communicable gum disease that damages the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. Estimates suggest it affects 15-20% of middle-aged (35-44 years) adults.
The disease starts when the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis infects the tissue around the teeth, giving rise to gum inflammation. If this is not treated, the condition progresses and the bacteria begin to eat away at the bone around the teeth.

These teeth are smaller than the molars and are responsible for crushing food in the chewing process. These teeth are also only present in the permanent dentition. The primary dentition only consists of incisors, canines and molars.
