Product Information

Moreover, Salim added that in his opinion, the Sonicare AirFloss Pro/Ultrais the best electric flosser. What's more, he worries the Waterpik's narrower head design and hole could push bacteria and food debris further down the sulcus (that's the space between the teeth and gum). To find the best dental flosses, we asked two dentists what shoppers should look for when choosing a new product. With their expert recommendations in mind, we scoured the internet for crowd-favorite dental flosses, considering more than two dozen products. We also asked our editors which flosses they've personally tested and used at home and included the top contenders.

It’s an unflavored waxed nylon dental floss that works well if you have teeth with wider gaps. This dental floss has a little more wax than other dental flosses, so it’ll glide a little easier between teeth.Feel and taste during use: Another key reasonflossing can be unpleasant is the feel of putting your hands and floss in your mouth and the smell from the plaque that comes loose. To combat this, we looked for products that let your hands stay outside your face, that offered flavors and fragrances to offset the smell/taste issue, and also focused on how our teeth felt during and after flossing. 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. 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. While you should still use traditional floss regularly, flossing toothbrushes are a great better-than-nothing item, and Waterpik Sonic Fusion is one of the best available, Michaela Tozzi, DMD, a general and cosmetic dentist in Las Vegas, told Insider. Not only does it save you time and a step, but it also doesn't cause bleeding like traditional flossing sometimes does and is much easier to use for people with "dexterity issues" (meaning it's hard to get the proper angle or leverage from your hands), Tozzi added. The downside is that this product makes your flossing habit way more costly, at almost four times the cost of traditional unscented floss.

The dental products went through multiple rounds of testing to gauge the following: E ase of use, bulkiness/how much space it takes up, flavor/feel during use, pressure/power, and value. More than a quarter of U.S. adults are dishonest with dentists about how often they floss their teeth." from the American Academy of Periodontology, 2015 The fan-favorite flavors range from Cara Cara Orange to Fresh Coconuts, and transport you to somewhere way more fun and exotic than your bathroom. Because this is still string floss on a spool, so the flossing experience was pretty much the same from there on out. But the brand uses coconut oil in its floss, which it claims soothes your teeth as you remove plaque. For me, this really did make the flossing experience feel less harsh.

I think I would give this 7-stars if I could! As in, It goes two whole stars beyond my wildest expectations. it’s not just great floss; I think it’s one of my favorite products among all other products.

When it comes to making flossing fun, Cocofloss is far from the only name in the game. Dr. Tung’s opened in the ‘90s by offering one of the first commercially sold tongue cleaners on the market.

And though brushing takes care of the bulk of the bad guys, the bristles cant access 35% of your teeths surfaces which is where flossing comes to the fore. Bleeding gums is a sign of inflammation, which is often due to ineffective removal of plaque,” says Dr. Reich, “[but] it can also be the result of overaggressive flossing, which is causing trauma to the gum tissue.” For every Cocobrush you buy, we’ll remove an additional 10 Cocobrushes’ worth of ocean-bound plastic from the environment. 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.Cocofloss positions itself in the market as a luxury dental floss that can remove stains and plaque from your gums and teeth. But is it really worth it? How does it outperform your average pharmacy floss at removing bacteria and plaque buildup?
