Flossing - exercises - Dental English Academy

Take a nice long piece, wrap around your middle fingers. Now pinch floss between thumbs and index fingers.
Now guide floss between the teeth. Be careful! Once it’s between the teeth, pull it to one side so the floss is looped around the tooth.
The floss needs to disappear under the gum line. That’s what you want to do to get any deposits under the gum line. Ok, so wrapped around the tooth.. and then just pull it out.
And then just do the same on the other side as well. Do this between all your teeth both sides with a clean section of floss.
You will see a plaque on the floss. You might also see some bleeding.. If you haven’t flossed for a long time you might notice quite a lot of bleeding at first. The reason why it’s bleeding it’s cause the plaque around the gum line is causing gums to be inflamed. Once you remove that plaque and will keep teeth clean that bleeding should reduce and you’ll have your gums healthier.A lot of people don’t have the right technique. They do hasty movements and sometimes damage their gums. Please, try not to be one of them.
