It should be easy to go through the teeth once you\u2019re done and you should get a new piece and do it one more time! You\u2019ll feel the clean.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joshua O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Floss all your teeth till the flossing stripe is clean \ud83d\ude42 you will also seen an improvement in the general feeling of your mouth in the next couple of days!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Franklin J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My dental hygienist told me to feel for bumps (tartar) with the floss. If I feel bumps,I try to get to it and get it out of there. Otherwise, I just try to remove gunk.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lesi N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Today when I flossed my gums did not bleed! And then when I brushed and spit (TMI)  no blood either. I am very pleased and I  sure my dentist will be too lol<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karen Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just be sure to floss every single tooth especially the ones at the back. Take your time and don&#39;t rush, believe or not you are pampering yourself. My mother is 85 and has all her own teeth so she can still eat and enjoy all her favourite foods<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cecilia S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">With flossing you should go between the teeth then run the floss towards your gums along the side of one tooth until there is a slight resistance from the gums then between the same teeth repeat along the tooth next to the one you just hit. Once the floss has gone along both sides of every tooth you\u2019re done!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amber Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don&#39;t think it matters. Just try to do it once a day, immediately after brushing. Don&#39;t use mouthwash after brushing, as you want to let the toothpaste help to remineralise your teeth. Just spit out as much toothpaste as you can and pass the floos between each tooth to take some of the toothpaste between the teeth. Do this once a day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Laura N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Did you go once between each Gap?  Yes&#8230; Done.   Can you see&#x2F;feel any particular left?  No&#8230; Done.  It isn&#39;t really a timed thing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rebecca N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Me personally, I always use the same rule as for brushing, two minutes. I want to take the time to know I\u2019m getting by and inbetween all my teeth, but I don\u2019t want to make my gums bleed either.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brunhild X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi. I think that it doesn&#39;t depend on time for me but on intuition based on the goal I set when I floss which is: to keep my teeth hygiene at its best. That being said, for me this question and process is very personal. I just floss, usually always after brushing my teeth, in all the in between spaces of my teeth that my toothbrush can&#39;t reach. I try to make sure that everything is rid of food residue (sometimes I double or triple floss on the areas that I previously flossed just to make sure) and that for me sums up my floss time. I end up feeling good, refreshed, safe and renewed. Teeth hygiene is so important but they don&#39;t teach us this enough, socially wise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan T.
