The Key Elements of Proper Flossing

Gum disease begins at the gumline and between teeth. Daily flossing is an important part of your oral health care routine to help remove the plaque and bacteria from these areas where a toothbrush doesn't properly reach.

Flossing techniques in four simple steps:

1. Wind: wind 18 inches of floss around middle fingers of each hand. Pinch floss between thumbs and index fingers leaving 1-2 inch length in between.

2. Guide: Use index fingers to guide floss between teeth.

3. Glide: glide floss gently through the contact of teeth touching down to the gumline. Do not snap floss between teeth.

4. Slide: slide floss up and down against the tooth surface and under the gumline. Use a clean section of floss each time you go between different teeth.
