If you regularly floss you shouldn&#39;t be using enough force to bleed. Just make sure to put slightly more pressure on one tooth, then the adjacent.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maxence Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Takes roughly 2 minutes. I just do it like the dentist would. Between each tooth and a little wiggle while you are between. Then out and to the next one. Both top and bottom. Goes by quick each one but altogether probably lasts like i said 2 minutes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lynn N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t focus on time that much actually, I just try and make sure to floss everywhere and do so thoroughly. On average I\u2019d say this takes me around two minutes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Serena V.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use my electric water pik, and go for about a minute.<br \/>\nWhen I use regular floss (less frequent), I have a good one over on each side of the tooth, and extra floss &quot;problem&quot; teeth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Song L N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve never really thought about it. Probably around 1 minute or so. Although it\u2019s less about time and more about making sure I get all the \u201cgunk\u201d out of my teeth. It also depends on how much I\u2019ve been flossing recently. If I\u2019ve been pretty good it won\u2019t take too long. If I\u2019ve been a bit lax, it\u2019ll take a bit long and I\u2019ll have to make more passes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Caroline T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I had braces so flossing takes longer for me because I have to use a special product (it gets under the permanent wire at the back of my teeth) so it takes a bit longer for me. That being said I think it&#39;s more about quality. Take your time to floss beside each tooth. Always check with your dentist if your technique is ok. I usually floss between 1-2 mins depending on my mood \ud83d\ude06<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maxine F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually floss for around 3mins. I\u2019m trying to maintain a habit of flossing every couple of days. Hopefully it\u2019ll work out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liva Z.
