How To Floss Your Teeth Efficiently

Flossing is important for everyone. No one is exempt from flossing their teeth unless they don’t have teeth in their mouth. Just as brushing your teeth is important every day, flossing is equally as important. You must invest in the best flossing aid and ensure that you floss your teeth once a day, every day. Kids should be taught the importance and method of flossing at an early age to develop the habit of maintaining their oral hygiene. It might be a little difficult and tedious at first, but once you get used to it, you will not feel clean unless you have flossed your teeth.

Flossing Technique

Flossing is extremely easy once you understand the process. You have to pass the floss between the surfaces of two adjacent teeth and pull it back and forth to allow it to remove any loose and soft pieces of food that become lodged in these spaces. Here is the correct flossing technique:

• Break a piece of floss that is long enough to be wound around both your index fingers
• Wrap both ends of the floss around your index fingers and hold it with your thumb
• Stand in front of a mirror and open your mouth
• The piece of floss must be held taut
• Next, pass the dental floss between each tooth to the gums
• Slide the gloss back and forth and then pull it gently from one end
