Flossing is a mandatory supplement for a good teeth cleaning and children should get used to using it very young, after a good brushing.
To floss follow these steps:
1. Cut about 50 cm of floss and wind most of one of the middle fingers.
2. Wrap the remaining string on the same finger of the opposite hand. This finger may be picking up the floss as it is used.
3. Tensar a piece about 2-3 inches of floss using the thumbs and index fingers.
4. Insert the floss between teeth using a gentle sawing motion. When the floss reaches the gumline, curve into a C shape against one tooth and slide it gently into the space between the gum and tooth until you feel resistance. Never apply violently against the gums.
5. Rub the floss against the tooth to remove food debris and plaque.
6. Repeat these operations with the rest of the teeth, using a clean piece of floss for each.
