Instructions how to floss properly
Things You'll Need:
Most cavities and periodontal disease begin between the teeth. While brushing is important, the bristles of your brush simply can't reach between the teeth.
Wind about 18 inches of floss around the middle fingers of each hand, leaving about 5 inches between your hands. Pinch the floss between your thumbs and index fingers and leave about one inch in between to work with. Gently guide the floss down between the teeth, using a side-to-side motion.
If you have problems reaching some areas, you might want to use a floss fork. If your gums are infected, they'll bleed when you floss. That's to be expected if you are just beginning to floss. After a week or so of regular flossing the bleeding should go away however to make sure you don’t have a more progressive form of gum disease, visit one of our oral health therapists here at Coburg Dental Group!
