Environmentalists have recommended non-PTFE brands, discouraging the use of the environmentally unfriendly Teflon. [5] There is also a health concern given the use of perfluorooctanoic acid, a possible carcinogen, in the making of Teflon. [6] A 2019 study showed that some women who had flossed with Glide had elevated levels of perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) in their blood compared to non-flossers, and fluorine compounds were identified in Glide (as well as 5 other brands of floss out of 18 brands tested). [7] Procter & Gamble, however, disputes this finding. [8] "The study, led by Silent Spring Institute in collaboration with the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, CA, appears online ... in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology (JESEE), and is part of a special issue dedicated to PFAS ( per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)." [9] References [ edit ] 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.

This floss is made from a durable, shred-resistant material that glides smoothly between teeth, making it easy and comfortable to use. In September 2003, Gore sold the brand to Procter & Gamble, who at the time announced its intention to brand the product under the Crest product line. [2] The terms of the sale provided that Gore would continue to manufacture and develop the product. [3] In 2010, Procter & Gamble rebranded the product as Oral-B Glide.

Glide Pro-Health Clinical Protection - helps protect against Gingivitis, Cavities, & Bad Breath as part of a comprehensive dental programMaterial: 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 An out-of-the-box flavor isn’t the only cool thing about this floss: It’s made with soft, silky fibers and coated with beeswax, allowing it to slip easily between your teeth and then expand as it works on all the plaque lurking in there. 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.” Vasial, Adria (2009).

Dental floss has to work surprisingly hard, as it needs to squeeze through the smallest of gaps between your teeth. If you suffer from sensitive teeth, the pulling action used when flossing can be fairly abrasive and might irritate your teeth and gums.
