Yes. Flossing is used to remove plaque between your teeth, where even a toothbrush can't reach. Floss also polishes the tooth surfaces, and can help control bad breath. The proper flossing technique is this: wind about 18 inches of floss around both of your middle fingers, with most of the floss wrapped around one finger or the other. As the floss is used up, transfer the used floss to the other middle finger. Use your forefingers to guide the floss between the teeth. One to two inches of floss should be carried smoothly between your teeth. Never snap the floss between your teeth, as this could injure the gums. This procedure is repeated throughout the mouth, between all teeth, with the floss wrapped around each tooth in turn.
