How to Floss
What is the correct way to floss?
Proper use of dental floss removes plaque and food particles in places where a toothbrush can not reach easily: under the gumline and between teeth. Since the accumulation of plaque can cause tooth decay and gum disease, we recommend daily use of dental floss.
Take advantage of the use of flossing, the following technique:
* Starting with about 45 cm of floss, wind most of it around each middle finger, leaving 3 to 5 cm of floss to work.
* Hold the floss tightly between thumbs and index fingers, and slide it gently up and down between teeth.
* Curve the floss gently around the base of each tooth, making sure you go below the gumline. Never snap or force the floss, as this may cut or bruise delicate gum tissue.
* Use clean sections of floss as you move from tooth to tooth.
* To remove the floss, use the same movement back and forth, pulling it upward and away from the teeth.
What kind of floss should I use?
There are two types of dental floss:
* Nylon floss (or multifilament).
* Dental floss PTFE (monofilament).
The nylon floss can be waxed or not, and there are a variety of flavors. Since this type of floss is composed of many strands of nylon, it may sometimes tear or shred, especially between teeth with tight contact points. While more expensive, the floss of a single filament (PTFE) slips easily between teeth, even among those with limited space and usually no fluffing. When used properly, both types of floss are excellent at removing plaque and debris.

The chemical properties of nylon (uniformity, tensile strength and abrasion resistance and elasticity) and its low cost, make nylon fiber is the choice for flossing.
The thread is made up of individual continuous filament two or three thick dernier. Flossing can vary in thickness between 4 and 18 terminations. As the ends (fibers made of strands) decrease, increases the risk that the thread is fraying and on the contrary, they increase, decrease this possibility. Sometimes the wax is made of wire to reduce the risk of fraying.
The floss to remove plaque from proximal tooth surfaces inaccessible to the brush, therefore, you should use dental floss as part of normal practice in oral hygiene.
It would be unreasonable to expect that children use the thread as an additional means of oral hygiene, since in this age only to achieve a proper and thorough brushing method is difficult. To get the infant supplement both procedures is shown how to use the thread on the front teeth to cover the post then, alternatively, you can encourage the mother to that instills and show your child the correct use of dental floss.
The use of dental floss use before significant demand-control, therefore, is necessary for the dentist regularly monitor the procedure, since improper use causes more harm than good.
