* Wrap about 18 inches of floss around the middle fingers of your hands.

* Hold the floss tightly, using your thumbs and forefingers, and gently guide it between your teeth. Don't "snap" the floss as this can cut the gums!

* When the floss reaches the gumline, curve it into a C-shape against one tooth and gently slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth until you feel pressure against the tooth.

* Gently scrape the side of the tooth with the floss.

* Repeat this method on all your teeth.

* Move to a clean area of floss after one or two teeth.
