Our clinic is designed with a calming environment to promote relaxation and comfort. Flossing is essential for removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth where a toothbrush can't reach. Use about 18 inches of dental floss, winding most of it around your middle fingers and leaving an inch or two to work with. Gently slide it between your teeth, curving it around each tooth and reaching under the gumline. Daily flossing helps prevent gum disease and cavities.
