How to floss?

summary

Dental floss can not only effectively remove the food debris and crumbs between the teeth, but also remove the plaque and soft dirt in the teeth freely. Since dental floss is so important for the protection of teeth, it is very important to master the correct use of dental floss, so how to use dental floss better? Let's take a look at the following.

How to floss?

First: take a piece of dental floss about 30-50 cm long, wrap both ends around the middle fingers of the left and right hands, and tighten them. Control floss with the pulp of thumb and index finger. 　　

Second: when cleaning the upper teeth, use the thumb of the same hand and the palm of the index finger of the opposite hand to tighten the floss. The distance between the two fingers is 3 ~ 5cm, and then press the floss down through the contact point.

Third: if the contact point is too tight, do not force the floss to press down from the contact point. It is easy to break the floss or hurt the gums with too much force. Pull the floss back and forth through the contact point.

matters needing attention

1. The dental floss should not be inserted too fast, and it should be slowly introduced in the form of a saw. Do not use too much force to avoid damaging the gingival papilla. 2. Wrap some floss on one side to the other side at a time, and keep a clean tooth segment to remove the plaque on the adjacent surface of teeth. 3. After flossing, please rinse your mouth in time,
