How do I floss using a spool?

• Start by removing around 40 cm of floss from the glass jar. You can use the cutter provided on the steel lid.
  
• Wrap the floss around your middle fingers and leave around 5 cm to floss your teeth with.
• Next, hold the floss taut with your thumbs and index fingers.
• Using a slow sawing motion to place the floss inbetween your teeth. Gently slide the floss up and down, rubbing it against both sides of each tooth. Always be gentle when flossing. If you floss to aggressively you could damage your teeth and gums.
• As the floss reaches your gums, curve the floss at the base of the tooth to form a C shape. This allows the floss to enter the space between your gums and your tooth.
• You can then repeat this step for the rest of the mouth, either with a new piece of floss, or if your current piece is still okay, you could rinse the floss in water and continue. This will prevent you from spreading plaque around your mouth.
• If you have trouble flossing, it is recommend you speak to your dentist or a medical professional for guidance.
