How to Use Oral-B Essential Floss
Step-by-Step Flossing Instructions
- Cut approximately 18 inches of floss.
- Wrap most of the floss around your middle fingers, leaving about 1-2 inches to work with.
- Gently guide the floss between your teeth using a sawing motion.
- Curve the floss around the base of each tooth, making sure to go beneath the gumline.
