Flossing technique
Many type of floss/tape are available waxed, unwaxed, flavoured and
also floride impregnated. Select approximately 50cm of your
favourite floss. Wind the ends around your middle fingers
of both hands, so that a short distance is left between them.
Insert the floss between two teeth onto the gum line. Sweep up and
down the tooth on one side then the other. Repeat this action
between all teeth, using you r fingers wind to a fresh portion
of floss each time.
Flossing takes practise so persistence is essential. If flossing between
back teeth is proving too difficult using flossers or flossettes
may help.
