How To Move The Floss So You Don't Hurt Yourself

1. Push the floss to the back, with both fingers
2. Rub the floss up and down dramaticallly (do not "shoe-shine")
3. Never EVER force the floss straight down or straight up into the gums (toward the root tip direction). You will cut the gums. 
4. Go under the little point of tissue between the teeth all the way until the floss stops.
​​​​​​​5. Bounce up and down, in a full wiping motion as you see in the demo video.

How NOT to floss the tongue-side of your teeth

   Notice the INside finger doesn't "hug" the tooth. 

If You Are Bleeding More On The Inside Of Your Teeth, Here's Why...

1. Watch in the mirror how you floss.


2. If your finger on the tongue-side of your teeth is doing an "obligatory bounce," I call it, with the floss held out 90Ëš from the row of teeth--


3. Then it's not hugging the tooth by making a "C" shape after all


4. Bacteria is being missed and it's causing an infection of the tongue-side of the teeth
​​​​​​​

  • Move the INside finger the same as the OUTside finger.

  • Move it up and down, in a mirrior image motion, with the outside finger.
  • Pull the floss either forward, toward your nose and then move it up and down, or 
  • Push the floss backward, toward your throat, then move it up and down.
