Flossing: Removing Plaque from Between the Teeth

Cleaning teeth with dental floss, perfect healthy tooth

How should I floss?

Floss daily using about 18 inches of floss. Wrap each end of the floss around your middle finger and leave about 1 inch of floss between your fingers. Stretch the floss tightly. Gently slide the floss between your teeth and, applying pressure to the tooth, curve it into a C shape against one tooth and move it up and down. Make sure to go under the gum line, and then do the same for the other tooth. Floss between every tooth, including the back teeth. Your gums may bleed for the first few days until the plaque is removed and the inflammation subsides.

OUR MISSION

At Bizeau Dental, we love smiles. We want to see you smile, and not just because you know your teeth look great. We want you to know that you've received high-quality, state-of-the-art care, but we want you smiling because you've been in the presence of friends who heard your concerns and prioritized your comfort. We want our employees smiling, too: because they feel valued, and because they work in a pleasant, family atmosphere while they advance their professional skills. And lastly, we want Newberg to smile. We partner with and contribute to community outreaches to keep Newberg a warm and inviting place to live.
