When used properly, dental floss removes plaque and food particles from areas where the toothbrush can not easily accessible, for example, the gum line and the areas between the teeth. Daily use of dental floss is highly recommended because the plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
To floss correctly do the following: Wind about 40 inches of floss around each middle finger, leaving about four inches between the fingers. Holding the floss between the thumb and forefinger of both hands, slide it gently up and down between the teeth. Carefully guide the wire around the base of each tooth, beyond the line of the tooth to the gum. Never force the floss against the gum, it can cut or bruise delicate gum tissue.
Use a new piece of the piece of floss for each tooth to be cleaned. To remove the wire, use moves backwards, removing it from the teeth.
What kind of floss should I use? There are marketing dental nylon yarn, waxed or not, with a wide variety of flavors. Because this type of wire is composed of many strands of nylon, it may sometimes tear or shred, especially if the teeth are close together. Although more expensive, single filament yarn (PTFE) slides easily between teeth, even with little space, and no breaks. Used properly the two types of wire to remove plaque and food particles.
