ake a piece of floss (12-18 inches), and wind it around the index finger of each hand.

Flossing Techniques

Grasp floss firmly between the thumb and index finger arriving at the flossing position.The fingers are separated by about an inch.
Use the thumbs to guide the floss between the upper teeth and use the index fingers to direct the floss between the lower teeth.

Flossing Techniques

Using a gentle sawing motion, guide the floss between your teeth. Never snap the floss into the gums.

Curve floss around the tooth.Gently slide the floss up and down the side of the tooth and under gumline.

Advance floss, after cleaning each side of tooth, by wrapping the floss around the finger of one hand, and unwrapping it on the other. Assume the flossing position,and continue to floss the side of each tooth until done.
