I personally like to start at the back molars and work my way forward. Remember to floss between your last molar and gum tissue in the way back. Bacteria hides in every crevice!! Keep being awesome!
The better way is the one your dentist taught you. The only thing I can say is that you don’t need to push it too hard. Be gentle.
I think doing it in front a mirror helps a lot, so you’re able to see where the floss should correctly be going in-between
My method is not environmentally friendly, but the plastic flosser tools make it much easier and less laborious. Sometimes I even take it to bed and lay in bed and floss because the bathroom is boring!
I would certainly check in with a dental professional (as I am not one) but I make sure to hug each side of each tooth a little under the gumline to get all plaque in every crevice.
I don’t know but I use dental floss but I have to be careful not to damage gums. I have waxed dental floss but I don’t think that it is better than ordinary. I use interdental brush too.
Roll the floss on your index fingers and clean the gaps between your teeth like an arch – from down left to down right.
I am not sure about perfect method, I know you’re not supposed to use those toothpick looking flossers, and regular flossing is standard. I would check YouTube for an instructional video. What I do know is that my problem was just plain getting myself to do it at all. If you have that issue, I suggest flossing before you brush your teeth. Cheers!
I like to keep floss picks in my car so I can do it while I am driving. That way there is no excuse for me to not do it or to try to say that I am too busy.
For me, you start on your dominant side, all the way on the top back. Go from that top back tooth all the way around, getting in-between each tooth as you go. Once that’s completed, repeat, only on the bottom back tooth and working your way around. It takes practice and you might have bleeding gums for a little bit if you’re first starting out, but keep at it: healthy gums help you have a healthier life.
