Do you know how to floss properly

Do you know the proper way to use dental floss?

1. There are now two forms of dental floss, one is a continuous thread packed in a round box, and a section can be pulled out when needed, which is commonly referred to as dental floss, and the other is a plastic rod with a hand, and a section of dental floss at the front end is called a dental floss stick.

2. Let's talk about the use of dental floss first, first take out a section of dental floss of appropriate length, about 40cm (the dental floss box comes with a blade). The two ends (one end is wrapped around the end, and the other end can be left with residual dental floss, because the required working length is about 20cm) are respectively wrapped around the middle finger of the left and right hands for fixation, and one or two turns can be wrapped, which is more flexible than wrapping on the index finger.

3. Use the thumb of your left hand and the index finger of your right hand against the middle of the dental floss, and straighten a short section between the two fingers (the shorter the better the control strength, but ensure that it can be put into the gap between the teeth, about 1cm).

4. Do this action to put it into the left tooth gap, pay attention to it, we should use the same action as a saw, instead of pressing it hard, so as to avoid hurting the gums, and it is easier to put in. If it is placed in the gap between the right teeth, then switch the right thumb and left index finger against the dental floss, which is easier to operate.

5. After putting the dental floss into the tooth space, slide along the tooth surface to the bottom of the gingival sulcus (that is, the part where the gum and the tooth really combine, which is normally about 2mm below the gingival edge), and then move up and down against the tooth surface, and slightly stick to the tooth surface when going up, so as to scrape off the residue.

6. After cleaning the two opposite tooth surfaces in the same gap, you can use the action of pulling the saw to pull out the gap between the teeth. After this section of dental floss is dirty, you can replace the next one, which is the previous working length of 20cm, and the role of reserved dental floss.

7. If beginners feel that the above method is not easy to use, they can also choose another one, take out a section of about 20cm dental floss, and tie two knots at both ends to form a circle (the purpose of tying two knots is to prevent slippage), and then jump directly to the above step 4, and the next action is the same. This method means that you can use one part and then replace the next part without wrapping it around your finger.

1. When to use, after eating a tooth plug meal: effectively clean the food residue between the teeth and solve the discomfort of the tooth plugging. After brushing your teeth at night: Removes food debris, soft tartar, plaque and prevents dental diseases.

2. Take out the thick grip thread with the stick teeth, pinch the thin rod in your hand, and look in the mirror. Rub the thread into a gap between your teeth up to the gums, but don't push too hard. Clean one side between your teeth first.

Rub slowly up, down, left and right, and the dental floss should be in a "C" shape with the tooth surface to make the cleaning surface larger. Then clean the other side between the teeth in the same way.

3. It is necessary to clean up one by one from the gap between the incisors and teeth. The order is, starting with simple front teeth and moving up to large teeth that are difficult to clean. When one side is done, switch to the other, and when the top is done, change to the bottom.

After an old stool with a stick floss is contaminated, replace it with a new one. To clean a full tooth, you need to use many dental flosses with sticks.

4. Rinse your mouth and clean up the remaining materials in your mouth. Cleanup is complete.

When it comes to toothpicks, everyone may know, but when it comes to dental floss, it is estimated that there are many people who know it, in fact, the use of dental floss in developed countries is extremely common, and it is an indispensable necessity for people to travel at home.

Flossing is an effective way to clean plaque from the adjacent surfaces of the teeth with nylon, silk or polyester threads, especially on flat or convex surfaces. Pull down a section of dental floss of about 25 cm and loop the ends of the thread in a double knot, or take a dental floss of about 33 cm, wrap the ends of the thread around the two middle fingers, and pass the dental floss through the contact point with your right and left fingers.

The distance between the two fingers to control the floss is about 1

When there is a feeling of tightness and impassability, you can do a forward and backward saw-saw movement, through the contact point, gently reach the tooth surface under the contact point, and at the same time place the dental floss at the bottom of the gingival sulcus to clean the gingival sulcus area, being careful not to force into the tissue that is too deep below the gingival sulcus.

The first is to learn how to treat dental floss properly. The second is to read the instructions carefully and consult a doctor to master the method. When using, slide along the side wall of the tooth, do not rub hard in the gap, and move gently.

If you are not very proficient, use it slowly in front of the mirror.

I think it should be used and managed correctly according to the specific way of use, and the reasonable use should not be used indiscriminately.
