Flossing, The Right Way - Here's How

Take a piece of floss
(18 - 36 inches), and
wind it around the middle
finger of each hand.

Grasp floss firmly between
the thumb and index finger

arriving at the flossing position^tm.

Note that the fingers
are separated by about 1".

From the flossing position you can:

Use the thumbs
to guide the floss
between the upper
teeth and

use the index fingers
to direct the floss between
the lower teeth.

Using a gentle sawing motion, guide the floss between your teeth. NEVER snap the floss into the gums.

Curve floss around the tooth.
Gently slide the floss up and down
the side of the tooth and under gumline.

ADVANCE floss, after cleaning each side of tooth, by wrapping the floss around the finger of one hand, and unwrapping it on the other. Assume the flossing position,and continue to floss the side of each tooth until done.

Please consult your dental professional on appropriate flossing technique.
