How do I use dental floss?

Use floss in this order. 1) Cut about 40 cm, wind it around the middle finger of each hand, and hold only 2 to 3 cm taut. 2) Ease it between the teeth with a gentle sawing motion - pressing hard can injure the gum. 3) Wrap it in a C shape around the side of the tooth and clean up and down 3 to 5 times. 4) Move to a clean section of floss for each tooth and repeat. It may bleed slightly at first, but if bleeding continues after 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use, it may be gum inflammation, so we recommend coming in.
