Seaman Apprentice Cody M. Frink, a Robert M. Casey Medical and Dental Clinic
dental technician, works on a Marine’s teeth during a dental checkup inside the
Branch Health Clinic here July 18, 2012. “Flossing is really important,” said Frink.
“It helps fight Gingivitis and gum disease. When Gingivitis starts to get into the
more advanced stages, your gums start to recede. You start getting tooth loss and
your gums will bleed when you brush them.”
