Mouth piercings are a popular form of self-expression, but they come with dental risks. Fortunately, with proper care you can minimise these risks and keep your teeth healthy.
We know we should floss atleast once a day, but not everyone knows the right way to do it.
1. Pull about 45cm of dental floss from the dispenser and wind most of the floss around each middle finger, leaving an inch or two of floss to work with.
2. Holding the floss tautly between your thumbs and index fingers, slide it gently up -and-down between your teeth.
3. Move the floss back and forth in a push-pull motion, up and down against the side of each tooth.
4.Gently curve the floss around the base of each tooth, making sure you go to the gum line.
