First most basic type of cleaning in between your teeth your typical string flosses. These are made of a nylon filament and basically you take one wrap it around your fingers and go between the teeth. So a lot of times people have heart in the right place when they floss they go between the teeth. It feels like they really need to push up and violently get in between the teeth. A lot of times that’s great because it can dislodge some particles,but when you’re pushing up and going directly between the teeth that hard. You can lacerate the tissue, you can cause damage. It can cause that really thin tissue to bleed and a lot of times that’s why gums bleed is because people are doing too aggressively. All you need to do is nice gentle pressure to go between the contact. And you just go gently around the mouth.
If you have questions about whether something is safe to use, we’d love to talk to you a water flosser. It’s a high- powered water jet that you can go around all the teeth and it does a phenomenal job of getting in all the nooks crannies. The advantage of these is that in addition to cleaning out debris they really stimulate the gum tissue and also unless you put it on super high and get really close, you’re not going to damage your tissues and stimulating the gum tissue is a great thing, because healthy tissue stays adapted to the teeth and stays adapted down, it prevents bacteria and food particles from getting into pockets and causing further bone loss.
