Within Dentqiue we recommend the following flossing techniques;

1) Wind 30cm of floss around your middle finger of each hand until you have a 10cm length between them.

2) Pinch the remainder part of the floss with the thumbs and leaving 2-3cm in between.

3) Keep the floss taut and gently guide the floss between the teeth using a zig zag motion.

4) Once through the contact point, curve the floss around each tooth in a 'C' shape, wipe each tooth surface and under the gumline.

5) Floss each tooth thoroughly with a clean section of floss.

If you find using floss awkward or difficult, ask Dr Dennis Teoh or one of our hygienists about a variety of floss holders or devices that are available.
