Take floss and guide it between teeth try to be gentle and floss back and forth up and down alongside each tooth

I use the floss habit to remind me to floss and brush my teeth. I like to simplify whenever possible. I make sure to be gentle while covering as much of the tooth surface as possible. I also like to rinse my mouth out before I floss, which makes it more effective.

I definitely suggest putting the floss between the two teeth then wiggling it around to make sure you get all the plaque out in between your teeth

I start by making sure I have a good length of floss and wrap it around each index finger. I slide the floss back and forward in between the gaps between each teeth and angle the floss so it wraps slightly and gently around each tooth. If you’re still not sure check with your dentist 😁

I make sure to get between every single tooth and go up and down the sides of my teeth. It allows anything hidden tucked away to be let out.

Use flossing sticks and try inserting them between your teeth slowly, dont rush

Always angle the floss to get into corners of your teeth. Sometimes takes time to get the flossing action right. Makes your mouth feel good. I use interdental brushes too for back teeth. πŸ˜€

Get the floss and make taut. Gently place between teeth an guide up along the tooth up into the gum. Repeat in same gap along the other tooth’s gum. Do this between all teeth along both upper and lower teeth. Rinse with mouthwash after and don’t put anything in your mouth for 30mins (including water).

Buy some floss, good minty stuff πŸ‘ and then grab a bit and get between your teeth? Do this often to be fabulously orally hygienic πŸ‘πŸ‘

I flossed by first removing the food particles in between my teeth with the thread. Then, I gargle with Listerine to remove the smell of food on the sides of my teeth.
