How to use dental

 floss correctly

 

 

 

Dental caries are mostly caused by

improper brushing.

Even if you thoroughly brush your teeth

a third time during the day, but at the

same time have always gotten cavities,

it might be the area between the teeth

that a toothbrush can’t reach.

You often think food isn’t trapped

between teeth, however, food debris

easily accumulates on the tooth surface.

The tooth is more vulnerable to dental

caries when food is left on teeth,

which is the major cause of cavities.

 

 

In this case, dental floss is as essential

as brushing your teeth.

People who floss first don’t know well

how to use dental floss.

Today, we are going to let you know

use of dental floss correctly.

 

Dental floss is a thin filament used to

remove food particles or dental plaque

between teeth where a toothbrush can’t

reach.

This cleans teeth by moving the

floss back and forth.

 

Some people use a toothpick instead of

dental floss, but it isn’t correct to keep

teeth and gum healthy.

 

 

 

 

The proper flossing technique

 

1.  Cut the right length of floss you need

 

2.  Wrap the ends of the floss around

your middle fingers

 

    3. Hold the floss and move it in a pull-push

motion to clean between teeth

 

4.If the floss becomes dirty,

repeat this motion with clear part.

 

Flossing is simple, however,

if you don’t floss carefully, it can cause

gum bleeding. If you experience swelling

or bleeding due to scratching,

you would better visit to a dentist and

get dental examination.

 

 

 

 

There are many patients who visit a dental

clinic due to poor oral hygiene.

We all need to maintain clean and healthy

teeth with regular examination and

periodic scaling.
