  1. Plaque Removal: Flossing helps remove plaque from areas where a toothbrush can’t reach, such as between the teeth and along the gumline.
  2. Preventing Gum Disease: By removing plaque, flossing helps prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease, conditions that can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
  3. Reducing Cavities: Flossing removes food particles and bacteria from between the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities.
  4. Fresh Breath: Flossing helps remove food debris and bacteria that can cause bad breath.
  5. Overall Health: Good oral hygiene, including flossing, is linked to overall health. Poor oral health has been connected to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses.

Steps to Flossing:

  1. Break Off a Piece:

    • Break off about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) of dental floss.
    • Wind most of the floss around each middle finger, leaving about 1-2 inches (3-5 cm) to work with.

  2. Hold the Floss:

    • Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and index fingers.
    • Slide it gently up and down between your teeth.

  3. Curving the Floss:

    • Curve the floss into a “C” shape around the base of each tooth.
    • Be sure to go beneath the gumline, but avoid snapping the floss or forcing it.

  4. Up and Down Motion:

    • Move the floss up and down against the tooth.
    • Use clean sections of floss as you move from tooth to tooth.

  5. Back Teeth:

    • Don’t forget to floss the back side of your last teeth.
