Dental Floss
With a number of types available, the best dental floss for comprehensive oral care is easy to find at CVS. Since flossing and brushing are important parts of an everyday routine, it's essential to make sure you're choosing a floss that suits your needs. Whether you prefer dental floss picks or traditional floss, making sure you're stocked up is helpful for keeping your teeth healthy.
How To Use Dental Floss
If you want to prevent gum disease or tooth decay, regular flossing is a necessary step. Typically done before brushing, flossing helps to remove any leftover food debris that could be trapped in the tiny crevices between your teeth.
Using a careful up-and-down motion, gently slide the dental floss or dental floss pick between the tooth and the gum. Keep the floss against the tooth and brush with an anti-cavity toothpaste immediately afterward.
What Is Dental Floss Made of?
Although dental floss comes in unwaxed and waxed varieties, both are commonly made from a finely wound form of nylon. In fact, it takes 35 strands of very thin nylon to create the woven strands you use to clean your teeth. Waxed nylon is typically the industry standard, but Teflon is occasionally used in some kinds of dental floss too.
What Are The Kinds of Dental Floss?
At CVS, there are a number of types of dental floss that are perfect for use every day. From mint-flavored dental floss to dental floss picks and dental floss threaders designed for those with dental appliances, there's a variety that can help you achieve better oral health. It's always a good idea to check with your dentist to get their recommendation for the best dental floss for you.
Does Dental Floss Expire?
On average, a small box of dental floss is designed to last up to 80 days; however, it doesn't expire. While the flavoring might decrease over time, dental floss can be used long after any expiration date you might see printed on the box or the packaging. Of course, floss that's hard to unwind should always be discarded. Otherwise, it's completely safe to use.
