Are You Flossing Correctly?

Flossing isn't just about removing food stuck between your teeth; it's about removing plaque below the gumline where your toothbrush can't reach.

The C-Shape Technique

Don't just snap the floss up and down. Wrap it around the tooth in a "C" shape and gently slide it down under the gum tissue.
