I was in my thirties before I was taught to floss halfway correctly, and since then my gums have sorted themselves out great. I think we just don’t educate people enough on this.

- bmau5 4y agoA link to brushing and flossing correctly is below! In summary: - Brushing: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle. This is the best angle for cleaning both the surface of your teeth and inside the gumline (killing two birds with one stone). - Flossing: Use the "C Technique". Wrap the floss around the side of your tooth in a C-shape, and gently guide it up and down the length of your tooth and softly below your gum line.
