How To Floss Your Teeth Well
- Pull out about one-and-a-half feet (18 inches) of floss.
Grab a small length of floss between your thumb and fingers, and bring it up to insert it between the 2 teeth you want to start with.- Pull and slide the floss in the space between your teeth in a way that angles around the shape of your tooth.
- Gently move the floss using a slow back-and-forth motion and an up and down motion. Take the floss right up to your gum line.
- Do not apply too much pressure. You don’t want your gums to bleed.
- Use a new section of floss as you move from tooth to tooth!
