5. Use the right floss for your situation. Regular old dental floss is not always the right option. For example, if you have dexterity problems, or may if you are all about easy and want something a little more convenient, you can purchase floss picks that are pre-strung, and that allow you to floss with one hand, then discard the pick when you're finished. Or maybe you have a child, and you need motivation to floss, try a good flavor. Whatever type you decide use is your personal preference, but make sure the floss is approved by the ADA (American Dental Association.)
