Dental Floss

Dental floss is an essential oral hygiene tool designed to clean the narrow spaces between teeth and under the gumline, where a toothbrush cannot reach. It comes in the form of a thin, flexible strand typically made from nylon or Teflon materials. Regularly flossing promotes healthy teeth and gums, helping to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. In personal care, dental floss is typically available in waxed or unwaxed forms and can be found in various flavors. To use, the floss is gently pulled between teeth, with a clean segment being used for each space. Flossing should ideally be incorporated into daily oral healthcare routines to maintain good dental hygiene.
