How to properly floss your teeth?!


Question: How to properly floss your teeth?
Answers:

Fun Flossing Fact: nearly everybody starts on the upper right.

The most important thing is to be gentle. If you're too rough you can abrade your teeth over time and cut your gums. Move the floss gently below the gum line, stopping when you reach resistance, then bring the floss up against the side of the tooth, drawing the floss forward as you go. Repeat with the tooth on the other side. If the floss catches, shreds, or is hard to get between the teeth, use waxed floss or a floss meant for tight teeth. If teeth bleed while flossing and you're being gentle, you may have gum disease. Keep flossing every day. If the bleeding does not stop in a couple of weeks, see your dentist.
