Flossing daily is crucial for healthy teeth and gums. It's easy too if you use the floss that is comfortable for you.

	HOW TO FLOSS 1 Remove about 45 centimetres of floss from its container.
	HOW TO FLOSS 2 Wrap it a few times around one middle finger, then wrap most of the remainder around your other middle finger.
	HOW TO FLOSS 3 Leaving 2.5 to 5 centimetres of floss in the centre, pull taut and pinch between your thumbs and index fingers. These fingers will be your guides.
	HOW TO FLOSS 4 Keeping taut, slowly and gently work floss between your teeth to the gumline. Do not snap floss into your gums. This can cause damage to your gums.
	HOW TO FLOSS 5 Holding the floss against your tooth, scrape away food particles and plaque by moving it up and down the tooth and under the gumline. Do not pull floss back and forth. This can cause damage to your gums.
