The frequency of flossing is like brushing and ideally after each meal, though one time a day (before going to bed) is the minimum necessary.</div><div class="style1" style="background-color: #fefbfb; color: #3c7491; font-family: 'palatino Linotype'; font-size: 13px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="flossing Surfside Beach" class="image_border" height="155" src="http://solution21.net/images/dentist/2009/flossing1.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 3px; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; border-right-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 3px; border-top-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;" width="169" /><img alt="dental floss Surfside Beach" class="image_border" height="155" src="http://solution21.net/images/dentist/2009/flossing2.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 3px; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; border-right-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 3px; border-top-color: rgb(60, 116, 145); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;" width="217" /></div><div style="background-color: #fefbfb; color: #333333; font-family: 'palatino Linotype'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;">To start, cut a piece of dental floss (approximately 2 feet). Wrap both sides of the floss around your middle fingers. Using your index and thumb, glide the floss in between all your teeth one by one. When flossing, make sure you are not cutting your gums. The goal is to clean the teeth surfaces, not the gums. In the space in between teeth, press the floss against each side of the tooth (hug the tooth) and gently move it back and forth and up and down. Then move to the opposite surface of the adjacent tooth.</div><div style="background-color: #fefbfb; color: #333333; font-family: 'palatino Linotype'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;">If you have any questions about flossing your teeth and you live in Surfside Beach or surrounding area, give us a call today!</div>Surfside Family Dentistryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055169913908906266noreply@blogger.com1
