Before teaching moms how to floss, let’s add a note about when to floss your child – you can start flossing when your child’s left and right teeth start to touch and form a gap! Step 1: Take a piece of expanded floss about 40cm long. This is about the length from your finger to your elbow. Step 2: Wrap each end of the floss around the middle finger of your left and right hand. The left middle finger should only be wrapped 2 to 3 times to hold it in place, leaving 10 to 15 cm, while most of the rest should be wrapped around the right middle finger. Step 3: Use the thumb and index finger of both hands to support the floss and tense it with force. At this point, about 1 to 2 cm of floss is left between the two hands. This is the length that is convenient to enter the mouth for cleaning, but mothers can adjust it according to their comfort level. Moms must be careful to clean one gap with a clean section of floss and then clean the next gap with a clean section. Step 4: (Upper front teeth) Tighten the floss with your thumb and middle finger and slide the floss through the contact points of the two teeth in a saw-like motion. If you push too hard, the floss will squeeze the gums and cause damage to them. ps: The left thumb helps to hold the lips apart for a clearer view. Step 5: (Upper front teeth) Slowly pull the floss to the bottom of the gums, wrap the floss around the teeth in a “C” shape close to one side of the teeth and scrape up and down 4 to 6 times (the range is upwards not exceeding the contact point) to clean the food residue and plaque. Then pull the floss towards the other tooth adjacent to the tooth and clean the tooth adjacent to the tooth. Finally, the floss is slowly pulled saw-style to pull the food debris out through the contact point. Step 6: (Upper posterior teeth) The same technique as for the front teeth is used, with the middle finger and index finger of both hands as pivot points to pull the floss tautly through the contacts into the bottom of the gums. Wrap around the outside of the two teeth respectively to form a “C” shape scraping up and down 4 to 6 times, still be careful not to scrape the magnitude of the contacts, and then pull out the residue through the contacts after the two adjacent surfaces are clean. Step 7: (Lower front teeth) The lower jaw teeth will be clearer for the mother to see and a little easier to operate compared to the upper jaw. The method is the same as the upper jaw, C-wrap around the tooth and pull the food debris out in a saw-like manner. Step 8: (Lower posterior teeth) I don’t think there is any technical difficulty with the lower posterior teeth either, as the child’s mouth can be opened slightly to floss smoothly. After reaching the bottom of the gums and repeatedly scraping the food residue from the bottom to the contact point, both teeth are completely scraped clean and then pulled out from the contact point in a saw-like manner. For children in the teething stage, many teeth have large gaps and food debris, especially meat, can easily get stuck in the gaps and can be easily decayed if not cleaned in time. However, flossing at this stage can be relatively easy for moms because they don’t have to worry about the contact points being too tight and straining their gums. Of course, mothers should not use toothpicks just because there are gaps in the teeth, as it is easy to hurt the children and difficult to clean up! These are illustrations of how to floss, and I hope they will be helpful to moms. For moms who have never flossed before, it’s not so easy. But practice makes perfect, start with the simple lower front teeth and take your time, you will get good at it and help your child to avoid tooth decay. Thank you very much for your help as a science model with your tired little body. Finally, the toothbrush that moms have been asking for before was finally brought back from Japan. Moms hurry to buy it from the micro store, the number is limited, too much dirt, a buy buy a bunch. About the finger brush or have to break a little. For babies without teeth 0 to 6 months, the mother directly scrubbed the gums and palate with the finger sleeve to clean up food debris and massage the gums, and prepare for future brushing. For children 6 months to 3 years old with teeth, if the mother really can’t manage with a toothbrush, use a finger brush instead of a toothbrush. The finger brush is better than no brushing, and the result will be good if you brush more carefully.
