Dr. Droege's Dental Challenge - Tip 2 - Make a "C" with the floss around your tooth.

Flossing removes the plaque, a sticky film that hides between your teeth where your toothbrush will not work. Plaque is always growing in your mouth & needs to be removed daily.

Using a long piece of floss, wind the floss around both index fingers so it is tight. Put the floss in between your teeth and curve the floss around your tooth so it looks like the letter “C”. Move the floss up and down along the tooth. Take out the floss so you can move it to another tooth and repeat until all of your teeth have been flossed. Remember to do this in the morning and at night.
