Cutting Toenails

Cutting toenails.When cutting toenails in a manner that does not cause ingrown toenails it's important to cut toenails in a straight across manner. This differs substantially from the way that fingernails should be cut. With fingernails the best method is to cut in a natural curved manner.

For an illustration depicting the proper and improper ways of cutting toenails take a look at the cause of ingrown toenails post from about three months ago.

There are several toenail cutting products worth taking a look at including ingrown toenail files which are a wise addition to any trimming collection. For many podiatrists (foot doctors) the relationship between a good file to a pair of nail clippers is similar to how a dentist might compare the relationship of flossing and brushing teeth.
