How to use the Cleanpik dental floss pick?

Guide the Cleanpik floss between two teeth and gently press the handle with your fingers. If your teeth are very close together and the floss would not fit in, you may try to bite the handle gently. Do this slowly in order not to damage your gums. The floss is held under slight tension to avoid damaging the gums between the teeth.
Once you get Cleanpik between two teeth, hold the floss gently against the tooth and move it away from the gum with up and down motions. This will ensure gentle and effective removal of food particles and plaque. Remove the floss in the same gentle way. Always floss the most difficult to reach spaces last.

Dental floss is more important than the toothbrush!

Dentists and oral hygienists stress that flossing is an important part of daily dental care that helps prevent various dental diseases. The most recent research has shown that flossing is more important than brushing. It takes approximately half an hour for saliva to neutralize bacteria on the surface of the teeth. This ensures a tooth surface self-cleaning effect while the spaces between the teeth are still affected by caries. Although flossing is recommended at least once a day, it can be done after each meal. In order to facilitate better penetration of fluoride into interproximal spaces, it is best to floss before brushing your teeth with a toothbrush.
