Quick answer
Use Frankincense Fresh SILK FLOSS once daily, ideally before brushing, by wrapping the floss around your middle fingers and gliding it gently between each tooth with a fresh section. Keep the motion gentle and avoid snapping the floss against your gums.
Why silk floss feels different from standard floss
Silk floss has a softer, more textured feel than nylon floss, which can make it easier to grip and less likely to shred. That texture also means you should use a slightly lighter touch, especially if your gums are sensitive or you are new to flossing.
Frankincense Fresh SILK FLOSS is infused with pure frankincense for a fresh, aromatic experience. The scent is noticeable but not overpowering, and it can make the routine feel more pleasant without changing the basic mechanics of flossing.
Common mistakes that make flossing ineffective
The biggest mistake is rushing: snapping the floss between teeth can irritate gums and cause bleeding. Another is reusing the same section of floss across multiple teeth, which spreads debris instead of removing it.
Many people also floss after brushing and then rinse immediately, which can wash away fluoride from toothpaste. Flossing before brushing gives the toothpaste a better chance to reach the spaces between teeth.
Your daily flossing steps
- Wash your hands and cut a length of floss: Pull about 18 inches (45 cm) of Frankincense Fresh SILK FLOSS from the dispenser and cut it cleanly. Mistake to avoid: using too short a piece, which forces you to reuse sections. A fresh section for each tooth gap is the goal, so err on the longer side.
- Wrap the ends around your middle fingers: Wind most of the floss around the middle finger of each hand, leaving a 1–2 inch gap between them. Use your index fingers and thumbs to guide the floss. Mistake to avoid: wrapping too tightly, which restricts movement. Leave enough slack to reach your back teeth without the floss digging into your fingers.
- Slide the floss gently between two teeth: Use a sawing motion to ease the floss between teeth, then curve it into a C-shape around one tooth. Gently slide it up and down, including just below the gumline. Mistake to avoid: snapping the floss down, which can hurt gums. If you feel resistance, back off and try a different angle rather than forcing it.
- Use a clean section for each tooth: Unwind a fresh segment of floss from one hand and wind the used section onto the other as you move from tooth to tooth. Mistake to avoid: skipping this step, which spreads bacteria. Work from one side of your mouth to the other so you do not lose track.
- Rinse and brush as usual: After flossing all teeth, rinse your mouth with water to remove loosened debris, then brush with your regular toothpaste. Mistake to avoid: rinsing with a strong mouthwash right after brushing, which can wash away fluoride. Flossing before brushing lets toothpaste reach the spaces between teeth.
