Wisdom Dental Floss Mint Waxed 100m (Pack of 3)

Product Information

It seems to be made of single filament PTFE ( I am awaiting confirmation from Oral-B about this). It is 40m long, which is longer than the Satin tape (which is 25m).

The Oral-B Essential floss is made up of about 35 strands of nylon (I am waiting for Oral-B to confirm the material used). It is waxed (although an unwaxed option is available) and is available with mint flavouring or unflavoured. TePe is the market leader with interdental brushes. They are made in Sweden and shipped around the world. TePe offers a range of traditional, straight handled brushes. They also offer long handled, angled brushes.

Uses / Instructions

Whilst floss and flossing tools aren’t as good as interdental brushes, there are some proven benefits that can help remove plaque and food from areas that the toothbrush can’t reach. Flavor: Everyone's preferences are different in terms of flavor. We considered whether the flavor is overpowering or subtle, whether it is minty or offers a different taste, and whether or not it leaves an unsavory aftertaste. iDontix X-Floss is a threader like I have described above, with a wide tape shaped gauze or “floss”. These are single use like traditional bridge and implant floss, but the floss itself is very effective around implants, braces and bridges.

The disposable options have the floss already fixed in place. You cannot change the floss. The handle will be made from plastic or wood. More sustainable options include choosing bio-based plastic or recycled plastic, or wood.These can be bought in a plastic bag of 8 short brushes or a plastic container of 6 long handled brushes. Sometimes you will find refill bags of 25 brushes. Flossing tools are special tools or devices, normally made from plastic or metal, that help to hold and use floss. The threaders themselves were all very similar in appearance and in use. I tested a number of the options above to see if there was any difference and I couldn’t find any. The Dentek and Vinsulla came in a plastic box of 50, whilst GUM gave 25 in a box. The iDontix threader for floss came in a resealable bag of 30. All of them are made from a blue nylon thread approx 9 cm long (about 5cm of this is the flexible threader bit, and the remainder is the eye or loop part). As there is no difference in performance, my preference is for the Dentek for being more affordable than GUM and iDontix, with the protection of being a reputable dental brand. Vinsulla is cheaper, but I really couldn’t find any information about the company.

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. Bleeding gums can be caused by multiple things, some a sign of gum disease and some easily reversible. But even with evidence pointing towards one particular type of cleaning, the most important thing is developing a regular habit. The most effective type of interdental cleaning is the one that you will actually do. 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. For some time the recommendation in the UK has been to use interdental brushes rather than floss as the evidence for their effectiveness is stronger.
