Dental Hygienist Question:
How to floss effectively?
Answer:
★ Break off about 18 inches of floss, wind it around your fingers, then guide it gently between teeth.
★ When it reaches the gum line, curve it into a C-shape against one tooth and gently rub it up and down. (Never snap the floss in and out of gums.)
★ Repeat this on every tooth, including the back of the ones in the back of your mouth.
