Flossing may seem simple, but doing it the right way can make a big difference in your oral health. At [Your Dental Office Name], we encourage patients to floss daily—not just when something’s stuck in your teeth!
Here’s how to floss like a pro:
- Break off about 18 inches of floss. Wrap most of it around one finger, and the rest around the opposite finger. This gives you control and a clean section to use as you go.
- Gently slide the floss between your teeth. Avoid snapping—it can hurt your gums.
- Curve the floss around each tooth in a C-shape. This helps you reach just under the gumline, where plaque loves to hide.
- Use a clean section for each tooth. Move along the floss as you go to avoid spreading bacteria.
- Don’t forget the back of your last molars! They need attention too.
Flossing once a day helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. If traditional floss is tricky, try floss picks, interdental brushes, or water flossers—we’re happy to help you find what works best.
