How To Floss
Flossing is an important part of your daily dental health routine. Are you flossing properly?
Use Enough Floss
When flossing, you should break off an 18-inch piece. This allows you the space to wind most of the floss around your middle finger of each hand. As you floss, grip the floss between your thumb and forefinger.
Floss Gently
Move your floss between your teeth gently, avoiding pressing it hard into your gums. As you floss up near your gum lines, pull the floss into a C-shape around your tooth.
One Tooth At A Time
As you floss, gently rub the floss up and down the side of your tooth. Unwind a fresh section of floss from your finger and repeat the process for each of your teeth.
