Flossing for Fun

WellAell, to begin with let's talk about floss. Pick
a floss that is for you. A waxed, slightly thicker floss
for not so tight teeth. Or, a ribbon type for slightly
tight contacts between the teeth. You can use a thinner
floss, however, be careful with your technique, you
could hurt your gums. You can also use a floss pik type
of floss, one that is going to be easy to remove.
Now,choose a daily time in your routine
to floss. Like, when you brush! Usually, once a day
is enough,but, you can floss whenever you have food
stuck between your teeth. Whichever method
you choose, make it a daily habit. Gentle is the word
here. Grasp the floss and wrap around middle fingers
using the first finger as a guide to curve around
the tooth. Gently ease floss in between the tooth and
gum keeping the floss curved to avoid hurting the
tissue. Swipe across the surface and come up and out.
your done and move on to the next slot! Using a knotted
piece of floss allows for particles that get caught
in ledge type areas: filling margins, crown margins, slightly
open larger gum areas that catch food on a routine basis.
You can spot those after eating-they will identify
themselves-you'll spot them.
