Because you’ll be putting your fingers into your mouth, be sure to wash your hands before you reach for the floss. The American Dental Hygienists’ Association explains the key elements of proper flossing technique in four simple steps:

1. Wind: Wind 18 inches of floss around either the middle finger or the index finger of one hand, whichever you prefer, and a small amount onto the middle or index finger of the other hand. (Using the middle finger leaves your index finger free to manipulate the floss.) That sounds like a lot, but you want enough to keep a clean segment in place as you move from tooth to tooth. Pinch floss between thumbs and index fingers, leaving a one- to two-inch length in between. Use thumbs to direct floss between upper teeth.
2. Guide: Keep a one- to two-inch length of floss taut between fingers. Use index fingers to guide floss between contacts of the lower teeth.
3. Glide: Gently guide floss between the teeth by using a zig-zag motion. Be careful not to let the floss snap or “pop” between teeth. Contour floss around the side of the tooth, making a C shape with the floss as you wrap it around the tooth.
4. Slide: Slide floss up and down against the tooth surface and under the gum line, and don’t forget to floss the back side of each tooth. As you move from one tooth to the next, unroll a fresh section of floss from the finger of one hand while rolling the used floss onto the finger of the other hand. Use your thumb as a guide.

What is “Mask Mouth”?
Mask Mouth is a term some dentists are using because of mouth breathing while wearing a mask. This is causing dry mouth, which leads to a decrease in saliva and saliva is what fights the bacteria and cleanses your teeth. Dentists are seeing an increase of inflammation of gums in their normal healthy patients since the mask mandates. An increase of tarter build up in the front mouth has impacted about 50% of their patients. This can lead to gum disease or periodontal disease which could lead to strokes, an increased risk of heart attacks and diabetes.

Suggestions: Keep wearing your mask!

KEEP YOUR HYGIENE APPOINTMENTS: “The good news is that both the World Health Organization and the CDC say there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 transmitted in a dental office so far” (npr.org)

Drink more water Snag a humidifier to moisten the air
Cut down on caffeine Use an alcohol-free mouthwash
Scrape the tongue Refrain from smoking
