Always floss your teeth at least once a day, either in the morning or at night before bed. To properly floss, break off about 12 to 18 inches of floss and wrap both ends around your fingers. Gently move the floss up and down the sides of each tooth to remove plaque, bacteria, and food debris.
Are you supposed to brush or floss first?
brush first because the fluoride from the toothpaste will get pushed in between the teeth while flossing, and. floss first because it will break up plaque between the teeth for the brush to remove.
When should I floss teeth?
When is the best time to floss? Although you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, Dr. Janaki Narayanan and our team recommend flossing your teeth thoroughly once a day. Many people prefer to floss before bed, so that plaque doesn't sit between their teeth all night.
