FLOSS & FLOSSERS

Floss and Flossers

Dental flossers and flossing are important components of oral hygiene. Dental flossers remove the plaque and food particles that can accumulate in between teeth, which helps prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.

Dental Floss Types

There are several types of dental floss available on the market today including:

  • Unwaxed Floss – made up of several strands of floss twisted together, providing a product that cleans, but tends to have difficulty fitting between teeth and is prone to shredding and breaking
  • Wax Floss – As in the Summit Deep Clean Floss is also made up of several strands of floss twisted together, but with a FDA approved wax coating applied to the floss thread.  The wax bond the floss fibers together making the product stronger and smoother and easier to glide between teeth while maintaining the cleaning efficacy.  For the most effective cleaning, use Summit Deep Clean Floss 
  • Engineered floss fibers as those used in Summit Soft Slip Floss and Oral-B Glide Floss is made to slide easily between teeth and be soft on gum tissue.  For those with tight spaces and gum sensitivity use Summit Oral Care® Soft Slip Floss.
  • All floss can be coated with a multitude of flavors.  Try the Summit Oral Care line of floss with its fresh mint flavor.



Benefits of Using Dental Flossers 

Using dental floss correctly helps keep your teeth and gums healthy by removing bacteria, food particles, and plaque from between teeth where toothbrushes cannot reach. It also stimulates your gums, helping to improve blood circulation which prevents gum disease. Furthermore, regular use of dental floss can help reduce bad breath caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth over time. 

 

In conclusion, using a dental flosser or regular dental floss is an important part of good oral hygiene habits because it helps remove bacteria, food particles, and plaque from between teeth where toothbrushes cannot reach. It also stimulates gums to promote healthy circulation while reducing bad breath caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth over time. There are several types of dental floss available on the market today including unwaxed, waxed, flavored, and plastic picks or brushes so you can choose the one that works best for you!
