Did you know that there are places that even a toothbrush cannot reach? Even if you brush your teeth twice a day with the correct technique, your toothbrush cannot reach small areas. Food residues that get between the teeth and under the gums can only be removed with dental floss. Using dental floss regularly will prevent tartar formation, tooth decay and gum diseases in these areas. In other words, using dental floss regularly and with the correct technique is as important as brushing your teeth regularly.

So how to use dental floss correctly? For this, you can use dental floss correctly with the technique we mentioned below.

Take approximately 35-40 cm long dental floss, start wrapping one end of the floss around your right thumb and the other end around your left thumb, leaving approximately 5 cm of it empty.
Hold the floss taut between your fingers and gently push it up and down between your teeth.
Apply the floss between the teeth and on all necessary surfaces, lightly passing the gum line.
Proceed by using the clean part of your dental floss on each tooth surface.
While performing these procedures, be sure to avoid harsh and sudden movements that will damage your gums.
Flossing once a day will be enough.

In this way, you can add dental floss to your dental care routine and thus prevent the formation of plaque, tooth decay and gum diseases.
