What is flossing?

Floss is used to remove food debris, soft dirt and plaque from the adjacent surfaces of teeth. Take a piece of floss about 25~30 cm long, wrap it around the middle finger of both hands, tighten it, and control the floss with the thumb and index finger. Put the floss between the teeth, gently apply pressure to the gums, pull the floss left and right, so that the floss slides smoothly into the tooth space. Do not use force to press the floss into the tooth space! Avoid damaging gums. After the floss enters the tooth space, pull the floss left and right, gently clean the adjacent surfaces of the front and back teeth, and then pull the floss out toward the occlusal surface. Repeat the above steps until the adjacent surfaces of each tooth are cleaned. Carefully clean each tooth space after each meal, and brush your teeth correctly to effectively prevent caries and periodontal disease.
