  • Turn the floss and make it a ‘’C’’, now wrap it around the tooth. Move it up and down each tooth in turn, on both sides and a little below the gum line.
  • While you are flossing, release clean floss from your fingers so that you have a clean area to tackle the next tooth.
  • After flossing, rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash.

Practice will make you a good flosser. Stand in front of a mirror every day to practise, and you will get used to it over time.
