Keep track of how often you floss with this app

One of the most important things anyone can do to prevent cavities and gum disease is to floss regularly. Flossy, from SlyBits, reminds users to floss each day. This essential step in daily oral care is also the most unpopular and dentists tire of having to remind patients of its importance. Only available on iTunes for Apple users, professionals now have a partner in reminding themselves, their families, and their patients to floss. By pressing the “I Flossed Today!” button each time they floss, they record their flossing history. Users can view how often they did or did not floss as well as the ability to set alarms for different times of the day to send alerts if they have missed a number of days. This app is great for recommending to patients that could add more flossing to their daily regimen. – See more at: http://www.thedentalgeek.com/2014/07/using-apps-to-get-your-patients-to-pract Twohig Dentistry Albuquerque Original article
