Should I wash dental floss pick before passing on the next teeth?
Very simple question, which I checked is not answered here., so please, don't link that question.

I'm using a dental floss picklike this one, or this one. I use it normally, passing in between teeth and following normal guidelines. However, after passing it between two teeth, yellow residue of food and other things gets in the floss, should I wash it or remove it with my fingers before re-passing it over other teeth?

The correct use of dental floss is to use a new portion of the floss for every site. The easiest way to achieve it is through the loop or circle technique, using a new part of the loop every time.

Also, always use the floss before the toothbrush. If you use after, you will remove toothpaste (fluoride) deposited in the surface of the teeth.
