Dental Hygiene: Flossing
Wind most of 18 inches of floss around one middle finger.
Use the thumbs and forefingers to guide an inch of floss between the teeth.
Hold the floss tightly against the tooth, and gently rub the side of your tooth, with the floss using a downward motion.
Wind the rest around the middle finger of the other hand.
Carefully tease the floss back and forth to guide it between your teeth. Curve the floss around the tooth at the gumline.
Remember to floss the back side of the last tooth.
