> A clear walkthrough of the C-shaped technique, how much floss to use and how to be gentle with gums.

## Guides
- [The C-Shaped Technique](https://how-to-floss-correctly.fipaxyqi.workers.dev/c-shape-flossing-technique/): The C-shaped technique means curving the floss around the side of one tooth in a C, then sliding it gently up and down that surface before repeating on the.
- [How Much Floss to Use](https://how-to-floss-correctly.fipaxyqi.workers.dev/how-much-floss-to-use/): Cut a piece long enough to wind around your fingers and still leave a short, clean stretch to work with.
- [Going Gently Under the Gumline](https://how-to-floss-correctly.fipaxyqi.workers.dev/flossing-gently-under-gum/): Slide the floss just slightly beneath the gum edge, curved against the tooth, and use slow, light movements rather than pressure.
- [Flossing Back Molars](https://how-to-floss-correctly.fipaxyqi.workers.dev/flossing-back-molars/): Flossing back molars is mostly a matter of angle and patience: open only partway, slide the floss in with a gentle sawing motion, and curve it around the tooth.
- [Using a Fresh Section Each Time](https://how-to-floss-correctly.fipaxyqi.workers.dev/clean-section-of-floss/): Using a clean section of floss for each gap keeps you from dragging plaque and food from one tooth to the next.
