To remove floss from between your teeth, gently pull it out, and if it gets stuck, try shimmying it.
Sometimes, floss can get stuck between teeth. Here's a breakdown of how to deal with it:
-
Initial Removal: After flossing, gently pull the floss out from between your teeth.
-
If the Floss is Stuck:
- Release one end: Let go of one end of the floss. This can provide more freedom to maneuver the remaining piece.
- Gentle Shimming: Gently shimmy it from side to side to dislodge it. This motion can help free the floss without damaging your gums.
It's essential to be gentle to avoid causing any gum irritation or damage.
