How to Floss Effectively



Twist 30 cm around the middle fingers of each hand. Squeeze floss between thumbs and index fingers, leaving a 3 – 5 cm length in between. Use your tumb to guide floss to upper teeth


Keep a 3 – 5 cm length of floss stretched tight between fingers. Use your index fingers to guide floss between contacts of the lower teeth. 


Gently guide floss between the teeth by using a crisscross action. Be careful not to snap the strand of floss between your teeth. Curve floss around the side o the tooth. 


Slide floss up and down against the tooth surface and under the gumline. Floss each tooth thoroughly with a clean section of floss.
