Flawless Flossing

Flossing Your Teeth

Brushing your teeth daily for at least two minutes each time is only the first step in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Not even the best toothbrush can fully clean the spaces in between your teeth. The American Dental Association recommends you floss daily at least once to remove particles of food and plaque that can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Flossing everyday can prevent a plaque buildup that once hardened becomes tartar. Tartar builds up along your gum line which can lead to gum disease. Only a dentist can remove tartar. Plaque contains bacteria that feeds off leftover food in your mouth which leads to cavities.

You should incorporate flossing every night as a habit to ensure proper oral health. As long as you floss thoroughly, it doesn’t matter if you o it before or after brushing your teeth.

Today we are going to teach you 5 steps for flawless flossing!

5 Steps For Flawless Flossing

First, break off about 18 inches of floss, wrapping most of it around one of your middle fingers. Begin winding the remaining floss around the same finger of the opposite hand. As you move along, this finger will take up the floss.

Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.

Begin to guide the floss between your teeth using a gentle, rubbing motion. Do not ever snap the floss into your gums.

When the floss reaches your gum line, curve it into a C shape against one tooth. Gently slide it into the space between your tooth and gum.

Hold the floss tightly against the tooth slightly away from your gums. Following around the shape of the tooth, gently rub the side of your tooth with an up-and-down motion. Continue this method for the rest of your teeth, top and bottom and don't forget to the do the back side of your last teeth in the very back of your mouth.

  WOW I would like to thank my God, who found this place for me I do not have enough time or there is not enough space to say what I really feel I am going to begin with. I am a 62-year-old man retired on Social Security disability. My teeth was very bad my opinion I had low self-esteem because of my teeth I am on a limited income, so I really can’t spend money like that doing my search on Instagram I bumped into this bright smiles office. I called 23 times and hung up because I was afraid to hear how much what to bring but a girl by the name of Dawn kept calling me back and I answered the last time and she spoke to me and I explained to her my problem that I have Humana and she stated give me the number I’ll call you back , she called me back and said Mr. Aleman come in quickly because you have good insurance and we would love to help you I went into the office. Everybody in the office were unbelievably great even the owner who is there they make me feel so welcome. I felt like a millionaire, and they were taking care of me  using the money from the insurance. Unbelievable the doctor that took care of me. She was a sweetest sugar. I cannot believe how nice and how professional I was treated. I am Hispanic. I felt like they were my family. Mind you that this office is 3 1/2 hours from me one way going by bus , I was willing to do that six hours traveling going and coming because this dental office was so good to me I recommend this place with my heart and soul. The staff at this office are so understanding and caring all the way up to the owner of the place who was there? He was a very nice young man. His name is Patrick he treated me like a brother. It’s a great feeling when they look at you in the face and smiling you could see that love radiating from every staff member in that office,
