@avaacarter: You’re probably not flossing as effectively as you think. 🦷👇🏽 Your toothbrush can’t reach every surface between your teeth, which means plaque and bacteria can build up even if you brush twice a day. Here’s how to floss properly: 🦷 1. Create a C-shape. Wrap the floss around the side of your tooth instead of just moving it straight up and down. 🦷 2. Gently clean below the gumline. Slide the floss slightly beneath the gumline without forcing it. 🦷 3. Clean BOTH teeth. Each space has two tooth surfaces that need attention. 🦷 4. Don’t snap the floss! Forcing it against your gums can cause irritation or injury. 🦷 5. Floss at least once daily. Consistency helps prevent plaque buildup and gum inflammation. &if your gums bleed regularly, don’t ignore it. Persistent bleeding deserves a dental evaluation. Save this for your next oral-care routine! 💕 #FlossingTips #OralHygiene #DentalCare #HealthyGums #dental
