Brush and floss and floss and brush, but how exactly should one floss?
First, start with a piece of floss 18 inches long.
Wind the end of the floss around your index finger of each hand.
Keep winding . . .
Until your fingers are about an inch apart.
Gently slide the floss between your teeth.
Finally, wrap the floss around the tooth and move it up and down.
Remember, while you're there, to wrap the floss around the tooth next to the one you just flossed and clean that area as well.
Dr. Ko from Hemet Valley Dental Care in California wants to remind you,
"Only floss the ones you wish to keep!"
