We're often asked, "What's the best type of floss to use?" The truth is that the best type of floss to use is the one that gets used daily! Floss cleans away plaque and food particles that your toothbrush may miss. In fact, if you don't floss, you're missing 35% of the surface of your teeth! So as long as you're flossing daily, we recommend you choose the one that's most comfortable for you.
Here's a brief explanation of the two main types of floss:
- Nylon (multifilament) floss is most common and comes in waxed, flavored, unflavored, and varying on thickness.
- PTFE (monofilament) floss doesn't rip or tear, so some find it glides between the teeth better.
