Flossing Facts: 1.Most people think they know how to use dental floss. 2.Most people use dental floss incorrectly. 3.Most people are never taught how to use dental floss. 4.Most people do not use dental floss consistently, correctly, and EVERY DAY.

Lets try flossing together…. Wind 18" of floss around the middle fingers of each hand. Pinch floss between thumbs and index fingers, leaving a 1"- 2" length in between. Use thumbs to direct floss between upper teeth.

Gently guide floss between the teeth by using a zig-zag motion. Do not snap floss between your teeth. Thumbs up for upper teeth. Pointer fingers down for lower teeth.

Curve the floss around the side of the tooth. Keep the floss against the side of the tooth in a C shape. Slide the floss all the way under the gum until you feel some resistance, then scrape down several times. Listen for a squeaky clean sound. If you dont hear the squeak, youre not using the floss correctly. VERY IMPORTANT! Arrows show the direction to floss.
