Product Information

By switching to an eco-friendly, zero-waste dental floss product, you’ll be better looking after your oral health, your general health, and the planet too! To find the best dental flosses, we asked two dentists what shoppers should look for when choosing a new product. With their expert recommendations in mind, we scoured the internet for crowd-favorite dental flosses, considering more than two dozen products. We also asked our editors which flosses they've personally tested and used at home and included the top contenders. You may also have bleeding gums if you are on certain medications (such as blood thinners), if you have a vitamin deficiency, or if you are pregnant. It’s an unflavored waxed nylon dental floss that works well if you have teeth with wider gaps. This dental floss has a little more wax than other dental flosses, so it’ll glide a little easier between teeth.

Since it’s hard for patients to know what the source of their bleeding is, the best course of action is to talk with your dentist about your experience, says Dr. Reich. Your dentist can then refer you to a gum specialist, or periodontist, if necessary.Material: Unspecified | Usage: For braces; use once or twice daily; insert stiffened end between teeth or around oral appliances, then thread string/floss as usual | Flavor: Mint Along with the sustainability, there are other concerns to consider regarding the materials your floss is made from. After all, this is something that you put in your mouth, so you want to make sure it is safe for your health! Regular dental floss is an eco-nightmare: not only does it come in plastic containers, but the floss itself is non-biodegradable and represents risks to marine life. Regular floss can be hazardous not only to the planet but to our health too, thanks to the toxic ingredients often used in the wax. If refills are available, this will also help you to reduce the waste you produce, as you will be able to reuse the container repeatedly.

Regular dental floss almost always comes in a plastic container and these containers are generally not recyclable. A plastic dental floss container takes hundreds of years to decompose and in the meantime, will take up space in landfill, or pollute the planet’s land or waterways. When you have braces, it’s more important than ever to keep your teeth and oral appliances clean so you can avoid discolored spots, which will be visible when the braces finally come off. Bleeding gums is a sign of inflammation, which is often due to ineffective removal of plaque,” says Dr. Reich, “[but] it can also be the result of overaggressive flossing, which is causing trauma to the gum tissue.”In terms of the floss, you should look for materials that are compostable, or at the very least recyclable. Floss can be made of materials such as bamboo fiber and silk which are completely biodegradable. Floss is designed to be extremely durable and not tear or break. This characteristic means it can easily suffocate fish and other marine animals or accumulate in their stomachs with disastrous consequences. 3. Floss contains harmful chemicals
