Product Information

Many eco-friendly floss products are coated in natural candelilla wax instead, to avoid this problem.

Worse still, small and light pieces of trash such as floss are particularly prone to not making it into landfill and ending up in the ocean instead. We know that plastic waste of any kind is devastating to marine life, and this is particularly true when it comes to dental floss. 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. 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 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!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.” Price: Dental hygiene shouldn't feel like a financial burden. We made sure to include an assortment of products in a range of prices so everyone can clean their teeth, regardless of budget.

Ease of use: You need to consider your mouth's needs when looking at floss -- like if you have braces, wide gaps, close or crowded teeth, etc. Daniel Reich, DMD, recommends that people use floss best suited for their teeth. Should your teeth be closer together, it's better to use a thinner floss whereas if you have larger spaces, dental tape may be the better option. Water flossers would be the best option for people with braces. 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. 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. When you think about the number of floss containers you use every year, and then extend that to your lifetime, it’s a scary thought! 2. Floss is non-biodegradable 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.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. Material: We considered material by looking at features like how much wax the floss is coated in, if it offers additional hygienic ingredients like fluoride, and whether the fibers are strong or prone to breakage. 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. 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.
