How do you floss?
I kept seeing people in movies do this flossing thing so I thought I would try it as well but I am not sure I am doing it right. The string thingy can't reach between all my teeth and now my mouth feels a bit weird. How exactly do you do this?

Re: How do you floss?
What is it with you and dental hygiene, Rex? Do all eastern Europeans have terrible teeth and just not care?
Grab the floss (I usually wrap the ends around my fingers to keep it from moving around) and just dig in there. If you've never flossed before, it'll hurt like a bitch, and your gums will bleed. You have to move the floss around a lot, in all directions, to get all the nasty crap out of all the little crevices. You're supposed to floss every day. It'll get easier once you get used to it.

Actually the opposite. I always had perfect teeth(although my canines are so long and sharp I kinda look like a vampire when I smile). That's the problem. I haven't even been to a dentist since I was five years old so everything above simply brushing my teeth is new to me
Ok tried it. It feels uncomfortable but I am not bleeding. How do you know if it works? Is there supposed to be stuff on the floss once you are finished? Cause it looks normal to me

If there's stuff stuck in your teeth, it should be on the floss. Unless you have a lot of space between your teeth, brushing alone can't get it all out.
