So You Think You Can Floss?

Home care is important in keeping your teeth clean and healthy! Follows these directions to make sure you floss like the best of them!

-Wind about 18 inches of floss around your fingers. Most of it should be wrapped around one finger, and as the floss is used, the other finger takes it up.
-Use your thumbs and forefingers to guide about one inch of floss between your teeth.
-Holding the floss tightly, gently saw the floss between your teeth. Then curve the floss into a C-shape against one tooth and gently slide it beneath your gums.
-Slide the floss up and down, repeating for each tooth.
