May the Floss Be With You

Every year on May 4th most of us observe National Star Wars Day. “May the Fourth Be With You” is a popular term often used on this day...in correlation with ”May the Force Be With You”.  

At Lenz Orthodontics, we like to say "May the Floss Be With You" to remind you to floss those teeth...Get it?

This May 4th, remember to avoid the dark side and keep those pearly whites bright and clean by brushing and flossing! Check out the fundamentals of flossing below for additional insight to keep your oral hygiene at its best.

Flossing Fundamentals

Using a floss threader...Pull one end of floss through the threader, and then push the threader — carrying with it the free end of the floss — under the archwire. 
Grasp the floss on each end and slide it up and down the sides of both teeth, and all the way under the gums until you hear a squeaky sound. Lastly, pull it out and use a new section of floss for the next area.   

To Keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy; 

you need to floss at least once per day.

 

And don't forget...Lenz Orthodontics is proud to offer our patients the Sonicare oral hygiene program. It is our goal to help our patients have beautiful, healthy smiles as soon as possible. We believe that flossing and brushing with Prevident toothpaste and a Sonicare toothbrush will help you get there!
