Flossing Tips: To get the most out of Flossing, here are some tips that may help you maximize your Flossing. 

1) Length of Floss: Be careful with the amount of floss you use. Brake off about 18 inches of dental floss. Wine most of the floss around the middle finger on one hand and the rest around the middle finger on the other. Grip the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers. 

2) Be Gentle: Do not snap the floss into your gums or be rough when flossing. You want to guide the floss between your teeth using a rubbing motion. When the floss reaches your gumline, curve it against one tooth 

3) Take your time: Flossing should not be rushed. Make sure to take one tooth at a time. Slide the floss into the space between your gum and tooth. Use the floss to gently rub the side of the tooth in an up-and-down motion. Unwind fresh floss as you progress to the rest of your teeth. 

4) Keep it up: After eating, Flossing should be done at least twice daily. Yet many people forget this vital part of their daily dental care habit. They only get half the benefits needed for good oral health care.
