How to floss my front back teeth?

Flossing: When you next visit your dentist, the dentist or dental hygienist can go over how to floss your teeth with you. That's the best way to ensure that you are doing it correctly. Until then, see a sample video:http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=ibyvsqwasea.

It doesn't matter: whether you start with your upper or lower teeth, or whether you start in the front or the back. Just make sure that you floss all your teeth at least two times a day.
