Dental Floss
Dental floss helps remove plaque and food from between your teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach. It’s a simple, effective way to support healthy gums and a cleaner mouth. Daily flossing helps reduce the risk of gum disease and cavities by targeting areas that often get missed. Whether you prefer waxed, unwaxed, tape, or eco-friendly options, there’s a floss to suit your needs.
Why is dental floss important?
Dental floss is important because it removes plaque and trapped food particles from between your teeth — areas that your toothbrush can’t fully reach. If left in place, these particles can lead to gum irritation, bad breath, and even cavities.
How often should you use dental floss?
You should use dental floss once a day, ideally before brushing your teeth. This helps to loosen and remove anything stuck between your teeth, allowing your toothbrush and toothpaste to do a more thorough job.
What type of dental floss should I use?
The best type of dental floss depends on your personal needs. Waxed floss slides easily between tight teeth, while unwaxed floss gives a squeaky-clean feeling. Interdental brushes work well for larger spaces or for people with braces or dental work
