How To Floss
Flossing thoroughly helps remove plaque and debris from between the teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas at and slightly under the gumline.
Wind approximately 18" of floss around your two middle fingers.
Gently guide the floss between teeth.
To remove plaque and debris, gently move the floss up and down against the tooth.
As you move from tooth to tooth, use a fresh section of floss each time.
Establish a regular pattern and time for flossing so that you don't miss any of your teeth.
Remember to be gentle when inserting floss between your teeth and under the gumbline. Flossing can infure your gums if done improperly.
Your gums may bleed and be sore for the first few days that you floss. Your gums should heal and the bleeding should stop once all the bacteria are removed.
