Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Dental Floss, Original Floss, 50m, Pack of 6

Product Information

Glide is a well-known floss for a reason—it easily slides between teeth due to a very smooth texture. Our doctors work uniquely in a collaborative approach – a true dental team – to provide comprehensive general dental and specialist treatments. Casimiro also serves on graduate and medical school program committees and is a clinical instructor at the University of Chicago. Zhanna likes that it doesn’t shred and loves the variety of flavors, saying “it comes in mint, different fruit flavors, chocolate, and even gelato. Move floss up and down against tooth to help remove plaque and food particles above and just below the gumline.

People are exposed to PFAS through the products we use and the foods we eat, and also through household dust and contaminated drinking water.

Elevated PFAS levels are linked to other detrimental effects including lower birth weights in newborns and to thyroid disease, compromised immunity, and lowered sex and growth hormones in children.

This ensures that not a single area is left out when flossing and thus your teeth become as clean as they possibly can. The exposure to you from your use of that pan isn't going to be so huge that it represents a significant health threat," said Brutton. The authors of the study say this is the first time that the use of certain varieties of dental floss is associated with higher concentrations of chemicals known as PFAS, or polyfluoroalkyl substances.Each piece of Superfloss has three different parts—a stiff end for easy threading, a thicker spongy section, and a section of “regular” floss. We also have a wide range of dental supplies such as irrigators and brushes, home ECG devices and equipment to help diabetics monitor their condition.

That’s why our doctors and hygienists have spent years testing out virtually every product out there, learning which products help our patients and their personalized needs because not everyone needs the same product. And even if flossing with Oral-B Glide is directly responsible for elevated PFAS levels, other studies are needed to confirm this association.The truth is, we all have PFAS in our bodies—from lots of different sources—and it's smarter to focus on avoiding future exposure rather than worry about what's already happened. Finkel: “I use one of the many samples I always have coming into the office—it’s not so much which floss, but ensuring flossing happens at all. For our patients who prefer soft picks, our hygienist Elizabeth recommends floss picks from The Humble Co.
