About this deal

A standard floss, which is the best of the bunch when it comes to traditional nylon flosses. It is widely available and easy to find.

When you have braces, it’s more important than ever to keep your teeth and oral appliances clean so you can avoid discolored spots, which will be visible when the braces finally come off. The risk with these devices is that they can be expensive and are not clinically proven when they launch. As such they shouldn’t be assumed as replacements for existing methods of interdental cleaning that are supported by studies. Approximate cost per metre for this floss is 10p including the container, or 7p per metre for the refills. TePe is the market leader with interdental brushes. They are made in Sweden and shipped around the world. TePe offers a range of traditional, straight handled brushes. They also offer long handled, angled brushes. If you have mild gum disease (gingivitis) then flossing tools may help you get the most from your floss. For more advanced gum disease (periodontitis), you do need to use interdental brushes as they are more effective. What are the pros and cons of flossing tools?

50 PRE-CUT PIECES

A threader for dental floss is a fine handle in the shape of a sewing needle. It has an eye for fitting floss through. A more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional nylon floss as it is made from bio-based plastic. It is prone to shredding so not the best option for very crowded teeth. Price: Dental hygiene shouldn't feel like a financial burden. We made sure to include an assortment of products in a range of prices so everyone can clean their teeth, regardless of budget. Whilst floss and flossing tools aren’t as good as interdental brushes, there are some proven benefits that can help remove plaque and food from areas that the toothbrush can’t reach. It comes as 50m spools in a plastic container with a built in metal floss cutter. This plastic container is pp (polypropylene, plastic number 5) so should be recyclable when you are finished with it.

This tape is comfortable to use and very shred resistant. It’s thin enough to also be used in the tightest of gaps. It works exactly as you think it should.

These can be bought in a plastic bag of 8 short brushes or a plastic container of 6 long handled brushes. Sometimes you will find refill bags of 25 brushes. Ease of use: You need to consider your mouth's needs when looking at floss -- like if you have braces, wide gaps, close or crowded teeth, etc. Daniel Reich, DMD, recommends that people use floss best suited for their teeth. Should your teeth be closer together, it's better to use a thinner floss whereas if you have larger spaces, dental tape may be the better option. Water flossers would be the best option for people with braces.

The oil used is COSMOS certified organic. All Georganics products are certified vegan ( Vegan Society) and cruelty free ( Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny). It is one of the few manufacturers to have these claims independently verified. One of the greatest disadvantages with floss and flossing tools in general is the environmental impact of disposable products. If this is something you are concerned about, see our guide to the best sustainable floss and interdental cleaning options. Are there any other alternatives to flossing While there is no suggestion that flossing can be damaging to oral health, there is limited evidence as to its effectiveness. If you are flossing, and flossing well, it will cause no harm and it is probably not advisable to give up but you might want to try interdental brushes as an alternative.” What is the evidence for and against interdental brushes?

Ingredients

But even with evidence pointing towards one particular type of cleaning, the most important thing is developing a regular habit. The most effective type of interdental cleaning is the one that you will actually do. Flavor: Everyone's preferences are different in terms of flavor. We considered whether the flavor is overpowering or subtle, whether it is minty or offers a different taste, and whether or not it leaves an unsavory aftertaste. These are good for getting around devices like braces or bridges. We have a guide for cleaning around braces in our post on the best toothpaste, mouthwash and floss for braces. There is a small amount of evidence to support all of the cleaning methods. Even the perceived “least” effective forms of interdental cleaning are shown to have some benefit over tooth brushing alone. Bleeding gums can be caused by multiple things, some a sign of gum disease and some easily reversible.

Wind the floss around the middle fingers of each hand and hold it tight leaving a gap of about 3 inches / 8 cm. Since it’s hard for patients to know what the source of their bleeding is, the best course of action is to talk with your dentist about your experience, says Dr. Reich. Your dentist can then refer you to a gum specialist, or periodontist, if necessary. As a company, their focus is on water consumption, and this product is water neutral. 10% of their profits go directly to the charity Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli.This is in a simple traffic light system (red – amber – green). Red is comparatively worse than green. These are standard brushes, which will last up to a week if used correctly. But the smaller sizes are prone to bending with use so can often only be used a couple of times. I explain the sustainable options in more depth in this article about the best eco-friendly options for flossing. The disposable options have the floss already fixed in place. You cannot change the floss. The handle will be made from plastic or wood. More sustainable options include choosing bio-based plastic or recycled plastic, or wood.
