Are you worried that you’re not doing a good job?
You know that when you visit your Howell dentist office, the hygienist is going to ask you about your flossing habits, and here at Dr. DiStefano & Associates, we want to make sure you’re well informed!
Flossing is important, and doing it correctly can mean the difference between a healthy mouth, and hundreds of dollars in dental bills.
How To Floss
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you floss at least once a day. Flossing properly will keep food from getting stuck in your gums, which can lead to tartar buildup.
The dentists at your Howell dentist office recommend using about 18 inches of floss, wound around each middle finger. Holding the floss tight between your thumbs and index fingers, slide it gently up and down between your teeth.
Make sure you use clean sections of floss as you move from one tooth to another!
