Dentist Chermside Brisbane: Smile makeovers, tooth whitening

Slide the floss between tooth contacts with a back and forth motion being sure not to “snap” the floss through as it may injure gum tissue;
Once the floss is between your teeth, wrap it into a “C” shape around the surface of each tooth and move the floss up and down the tooth surface 4 or 5 times;
Since plaque is very sticky, it is necessary to perform these steps or plaque will be left behind;
Floss holders are available for those who have difficulty reaching the back teeth;
Children should begin flossing as early as possible, with parents help.
