What is floss made of?

Floss is typically made of nylon or Teflon material. These materials are smooth and durable, allowing the floss to easily slide between teeth and remove food particles and plaque. Some floss may also be coated with wax or flavoring to make it more comfortable to use and to leave a minty taste in the mouth.

Floss is available in different forms, such as string floss, dental tape, pre-threaded flossers, and even water flossers for those who prefer a different method of cleaning between teeth.

Regular flossing is an important part of a good oral hygiene routine, as it helps remove debris and plaque from areas that toothbrushes may not be able to reach. It can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
