Thread made of artificial fibre for cleaning interdental spaces. Approximately 50 cm of dental floss is removed from the dispenser, the ends wound round the middle finger of each hand and held against the thumbs. The taut floss is inserted carefully into each interdental space in the upper jaw and pulled up and down. To clean the lower jaw interdental spaces, take the floss round the tips of the forefingers. It is important always to clean both tooth surfaces of each interdental space.
