3 Things To Avoid When Choosing Dental Floss

Flossing is important for your dental hygiene, but what most people overlook is the type of floss that they're using.

Avoid these three things when looking for dental floss.

1

PTFE (Teflon) Floss This is a very common type of dental floss that uses PFAS (aka forever chemicals). Avoid!

2

Nylon If you're looking to be more eco-conscious, avoid nylon which is petroleum-derived. Opt for silk instead.

3

Artificial Flavoring Some dental floss brands will add unnecessary flavorings. Opt for pure mint or natural essential oil options.
