Dental floss is a cord of thin filaments used to remove food and dental plaque from between teeth in areas a toothbrush cannot reach. A variety of dental flosses are available including waxed, unwaxed, flavoured and unflavoured.

The most important thing to look for when choosing dental floss is that it is shred resistant. This is because if the floss shreds easily, it is more likely to get stuck between your teeth and cause discomfort. Another factor to consider is the width of the floss. This dental floss is made of nylon or another synthetic material that is shred resistant and available in a variety of widths.
