We can only clean about 70% of our teeth when we brush them. We can't clean the teeth seams. If we want to clean our teeth, we can use dental floss to help us. Then how to use dental floss? Dental floss is mainly divided into four steps, first take the floss, then shape, and then friction, and finally cleaning. So how to floss? Look at the floss steps below.
Step 1: take the line
First of all, wash your hands clean, then take the dental floss out of the dental floss box, and cut the dental floss about 45 cm long. However, it should be selected according to personal operating habits and the range of opening your hand. Try to be as long as possible. If it is too short, it is not easy to operate.
The second step is to finalize the design
One end of the floss is wrapped around the second knuckle of the middle finger of one hand, about two or three times, which can be fixed. Then, at a distance of about 25 cm, wrap the floss around the second knuckle of the middle finger of the other hand for two or three turns. Just like this, you can take turns using clean sections by loosening one circle and winding another. One hand should hold the floss and fix it on the tooth surface, and the other hand should slowly slide the floss into the gap.
The third step is friction
After shaping, the index finger in the mouth should be gently moved and rubbed with the floss, so that the floss can fully contact with the teeth, so as to remove the food residue in the teeth.
The fourth step is cleaning
When using dental floss, you should thoroughly clean the crevices between each tooth, and then use water to gargle, so as to clean out some food residues.
Warm tips: 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. In order to remove dental plaque and dental floss in the mouth, use it in time.
