  5. If you have bad …
    If you have bad breath it is caused from food stuck inbetween your teeth that you haven’t flossed out. It is literally rotting away inbetween your teeth. By not flossing you are equivalently not brushing 7 of your teeth. You will in turn have bad breath and cavities.

    I agree with stoneglitter. It is really hard to do those moves in your mouth. Having seen this video, I want to see how a human would floss their own teeth. If you could do another video, that’d be super!

    That’s a stupid video. Does she not realise that it’s humanly impossible to floss your back teeth like that? Does she not realise that there is a mouth in between that’s going to get cut up badly and there’s no w3ay you can get in there and floss the way she did with those back molars. Idiotic idea to use a model..

  18. make sure to get …
    make sure to get the floss out of your teeth because it’ll collect germs and bacteria and it will rot your teeth and gums

    if dental floss gets stuck between your teeth use thinner floss and use oral-b satain floss 9.2 wax 10/yrd . if your gums bleed it means its infected. make sure to floss everyday and brush everyday

    Watching them do it …
    Watching them do it on a little model makes it look easy. They should get the demonstrator to do it on there own teeth as well, cos actually reaching ur back teeth can be tricky..

    My dentist has me using tiny brushes on my back teeth which i fing much easier to use..

    Also get yourself a Sonicare flexcare toothbrush. A little bit expensive but after each use you feel like you have just seen your hygenist…

  25. Various issues not …
    Various issues not covered :
    - Blood. How much is expected when putting the floss deep enough into the gumline to get at the plague. This is a necessary part of flossing.
    - Getting the angle right when doing the back teeth. Most people don’t know how to fit both their fists far back into their mouth to floss. There is a technique which uses well angled and precision placed fingers. Perhaps another youtube clip has it?
