Here are a few flossing basics:

1. Floss one tooth at a time.
It really pays off to take care of your teeth, so you need to make time in order to floss properly. Work your way through all the sides of each tooth to scrape away the plaque that has built up.

2. Break of a long piece.
For you properly hold the floss, you need at more or less 18 inches of floss. Floss isn’t too expensive, so don’t be a miser about it. You won’t be using just one piece of it anyway.

3. Use a wax version for hard to reach areas.
There are waxed flosses to get into tight corners if your regular floss can’t get in.
