1. Break off about
45-50 cm of floss and wind most of it (~30 cm) around one of your middle
fingers.
2. Wind the remaining floss around the same finger of the opposite hand.
This finger will take up the floss as it becomes dirty.
3. Hold the floss
tightly between your thumbs and forefingers, leaving ~3cm of floss between
your hands.
4. Guide the floss to the space between your teeth using a gentle rubbing
motion. Never snap the floss into the gums to avoid injuries.
5. When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a C shape against one tooth. Gently slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth.
6. Hold the floss tightly against the tooth. Gently rub the side of the
tooth, moving the floss away from the gum with up and down motions.
7. Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth. Don't forget the back side of your last tooth.
