Cleaning between your teeth

	Break off about 18 inches of floss and wind most of it around one of your middle fingers.
	Wind the remaining floss around the same finger of the other hand. This finger will take up the floss as it is used.
	Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers, with about an inch of floss between them. Leaving no slack. Gently slide the floss between your teeth. Do not jerk or snap the floss into the gums.
	When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a C-shape against one tooth. Gently slide it into the shape between the gum and tooth until you feel resistance.
	Hold the floss against the tooth. Gently rub the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum.
	Don't forget to floss the back of the last tooth. This is a critical area where plaque often collects
