Be Good to Your Gums - Flossing is a Must

Be Good to Your Gums - Flossing is a Must
  • Brushing alone will not be sufficient. Flossing cleans areas between the teeth that your toothbrush can't reach and is essential to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Be sure to floss at least once a day.

  • Use about 18 inches of floss, winding most of it around your middle finger and the rest around the middle finger of your other hand. This finger takes up the used floss.
  • Using the thumb and forefingers, gently guide about an inch of floss between the teeth.
  • Hold the floss tightly against the tooth and use a gentle up and down motion. Gums can be bruised if floss is 'snapped' into place.
  • At the gum line, curve the floss into a C-shape against the sides of both teeth and move it up and down.
  • Repeat for all teeth.
