how to floss your teeth

• pull out approximately 18in. of floss, and wrap most of it around the middle finger


• wrap the remaining floss round the same finger of the opposite hand. about an inch of floss should be held between the thumbs and forefingers.


• do not snap the floss between the teeth; instead, use a gentle, sawing motion to guide the floss to the gumline.


• when the gumline is reached, curve the floss into a C-shape against one tooth, and gently slide the floss into the space between the gum and tooth until you feel resistance.


• hold the floss tightly against the tooth, and gently scrape the side of the tooth while moving the floss away from the gums.


• curve the floss around the adjoining tooth, and repeat the procedure.
