"How do I floss my teeth?"

A dental hygienist demonstrates dental flossing.

* Use enough floss to be able to wrap it around your two middle fingers leaving an inch or two of floss between.
* Holding the floss tightly, gently move the floss up and down between teeth.
* Go beneath the gumline by curving the floss around each tooth.
* Use a clean section of the floss when moving from tooth to tooth.
* To remove floss, use the same back and forth motion to gently bring the floss away from teeth.
